New Fannie Mae Photo Requirements

Effective September 1, 2010 Fannie Mae has new interior photograph requirements for interior appraisals.  All interior appraisals must include the following photos:

• Kitchen
• All Bathrooms
• Main Living Area
• Examples of physical deterioration (in any)
• Examples of updates, remodeling, or renovation (if any)

I've always made it a habit to take pictures of every room in the house as well as anything that can possibly have an effect on value or marketability.   It also a good idea to take pictures of health and safety issues like security bar window release levers, pool gates, etc.   I would also take pictures of any external obsolescence (adjacent gas station or apartment building) and any positive external influences like golf courses or views.
