  Using Appraisal Logging  
  Electronic Appraisals and System Messages  
 

Appraisal information must be submitted electronically by an eligible FHA-approved lender or by a designated third-party service provider via the FHA's Electronic Appraisal Delivery (EAD) portal. For electronic appraisals submitted (or, updated and resubmitted) via EAD, the appraisal information populates (prefills) the Appraisal Logging Update page.

   
The Appraisal Logging Update page must be processed (click Send) to save the electronic appraisal information to HUD's system of record, the Computerized Homes Underwriting Management System (CHUMS); otherwise, the appraisal information is not saved in the Appraisal Logging Update page.
   
Upon viewing the Appraisal Logging Update page, a message provides where the displayed information is from and any actions that are needed to continue processing. Example: Note: Screen loaded from EAD. Complete fields in HECM Information section and confirm the data by pressing "Send" button at bottom of the screen. Proceed as instructed in the message.
   
Upon initially viewing the Appraisal Logging Update page, you may also encounter case type and/or address messages/warnings that may need to be resolved before continuing case processing.
   
There are two links below the FHA Case Number (listed below). Click links to view the electronic files associated with this case.
 

View Electronic Appraisal: Displays a pop-up page with a link to the Uniform Residential Appraisal Report (URAR). A list of the available documents is displayed with the date/time posted and the document's version number. Click the version number to view/download that URAR in Portable Document Format (.pdf).
 

View Last Appraisal ESR: Displays the EAD Submission Results (ESR) form (can be downloaded in Portable Document Format (.pdf)).
   
For electronic appraisals submitted before the EAD portal implementation, only a link to the actual appraisal documentation, in Portable Document Format (.pdf), is provided at the top of the Appraisal Logging Update page.
