Use the FHA's Electronic Appraisal Delivery (EAD) portal to submit the appraisal information. Once successfully submitted via EAD, use Appraisal Logging to view the prefilled appraisal information. The page is divided into multiple sections (listed below).

Note: Displayed sections depend upon the case type.

Property Information
Subject Prior Sale Information
Reconciliation Fields
HECM Information
User Certification
Appraisal Update


Any information that is required by HUD but not collected through the appraisal report, such as HECM and Property Flipping related information, must be entered using Appraisal Logging Update. You must click Send to save the appraisal information to HUD's single family mortgage insurance system, the Computerized Homes Underwriting Management System (CHUMS).

Below are a few data entry tips.

On the date the appraisal is performed, the appraiser must be on the FHA's appraiser roster and meet Appraiser Qualifications Board (AQB) requirements for certification.
Do not enter dollar signs, commas, or cents in fields requiring monetary amounts, e.g., 100000, 250000.
Enter whole percentages without percent signs (%) in fields requiring percentages, e.g., 100, 75.
Click the calendar icon Calendar User Aid Icon to quickly look up and enter a specific date.
Create, maintain, and use your own list of appraisers by selecting Appraiser List User Aid Icon on the page.
View help links by selecting Help and choosing one of the options--Steps for Processing, Field Descriptions, and Business Background.
For additional case information, click Other Functions Listing for links to other FHA Connection functions available for the case currently displayed (based on function availability), e.g., Case Number Assignment, Borrower/Address Change.
Use Borrower/Address Change if the property address must be updated.
