The information is used by appraisers and/or underwriters upon their review of the appraisal report (USAR) to determine if a property meets FHA guidelines to be eligible for HUD mortgage insurance. Underwriters are required to sign and submit a copy of the completed form to HUD for endorsement as part of the case binder; to provide a copy to the homebuyer; and to maintain a copy for the mortgagee.
The number of respondents has been corrected to show all FHA approved lenders. FHA loan volume has increased, but all lenders contacted provide borrowers with appraisals in lieu of the form HUD-92800.5B. In the last 12 months 5,668 loans have required repairs and HUD-92800.5B was required to be presented to the borrower in these cases in order for the borrower to be informed regarding what repairs are necessary for the property to be safe, sound and secure. The form is required to be included in all case binders for FHA-insured mortgages. For most mortgages the form is not provided to the borrower, the form is provided to the borrower when the repairs to the home were required.
