WASHINGTON (AP) — New federal rules proposed Wednesday would require all high-risk mortgage lenders to obtain property appraisals for the first time.
Under the rule, all mortgages deemed risky would require an appraisal by a licensed or certified appraiser, including a written inspection of the home’s interior, according to regulators including the Federal Reserve and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Previously, there was no universal federal requirement that appraisals be performed on all risky mortgages.
