Appraiser, Bob Bryant, says that some expectations of appraisers have not changed such as noting peeling paint, wood rot, look into crawl space under houses, look into attic, obviious structural issues, windows must open in all bedrooms, apparent safe electrical wiring
The old days of a VC sheet (value conditions) where an appraiser also inspected the house while performing the appraisal, are gone but FHA still asks appraisers to give notice on the appriasal if serious issues exist. The VC sheet is what developed FHA's reputation of being difficult for home sellers and home buyers often mistakenly relied on the FHA appraiser instead of hiring their own home inspector.
