Appraisals

On an exception basis, we may consider appraisals prepared by other federally insured institutions, provided the reports are delivered directly from the other cooperating institution. The reports must be less than six months old (at the time of funding) and after a thorough review, the reports must meet our underwriting guidelines. In some situations we may require that the report is reviewed by one of North Island approved appraisers; an additional charge will apply and must be paid in advance of the review
