    paragraph_quote: '2. Appraiser Requirements (05/09/2022) All Appraisers must comply
      with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (USPAP), including
      the Competency Rule, when conducting appraisals of Properties classified as
      Personal Property or Real Property. Certified real estate Appraisers providing
      appraisal services for land parcels and/or a real property interest in the Manufactured
      Home will follow USPAP Standards 1 and 2 when developing and reporting the results
      of the appraisal. All Appraisers providing services involving Manufactured Homes
      where the property interest is Chattel (or Personal Property) will follow USPAP
      Standards 7 and 8 when developing and reporting the results of the appraisal.
      The Appraiser must include evidence that the Appraiser meets one of the qualification
      standards, such as a copy of a current certification, a printed web page or
      other documentation showing that the Appraiser is: • MHV certified on the MHV
      registry; or • a certified real estate Appraiser who is active on the FHA Appraiser
      Roster. Requirements for Appraisers of real estate interests and Chattel (or
      personal property interests) are found in the Other Participants - Appraisers
      section of Doing Business with FHA in Handbook 4000.1.'
