Case/Appraisal Transfer - Processing

Case/Appraisal Transfer can only be processed for a non-endorsed case by the originating lender or the lender's sponsor/agent. The lender or the lender's sponsor/agent must be currently on record for the case in HUD's origination system (except for a sponsor not on record that has remitted upfront MIP). Case/Appraisal Transfer allows you to:

• Record the transfer of a non-endorsed case to a new mortgage originator, including the property appraisal if requested, or
  
  
• Update the sponsor or agent information
