FHA Single Family Housing Policy Handbook 4000.1, Part II — k. Sales Comparison Approach for Manufactured Housing (11/02/2023)
k. Sales Comparison Approach for Manufactured Housing (11/02/2023) i. Required Analysis and Reporting The Appraiser must include a sufficient number of sales to produce a credible value. The Appraiser must include at least two Manufactured Homes in the Sales Comparison Approach (SCA) Grid. ii. Exception For a Manufactured Home certified based on the construction requirements of Fannie Mae’s MH Advantage® or Freddie Mac’s CHOICEHome® program, the Appraiser must include at least two comparable sales with similar certification, when available. If fewer than two comparable MH Advantage® or CHOICEHome® sales are available, the Appraiser must use the most appropriate site-built comparable sales available, and must provide detailed justification to support the Appraiser’s selection of comparable Properties and the adjustments made for dissimilarities to the subject Property. A Manufactured Home certified based on the construction requirements of Fannie Mae’s MH Advantage® or Freddie Mac’s CHOICEHome® programs must have Fannie Mae’s MH Advantage® Sticker or Freddie Mac’s CHOICEHome® Label affixed near the HUD data plate. The Appraiser must include photos of the Fannie Mae’s MH Advantage® Manufacturer Sticker or Freddie Mac’s CHOICEHome® Label in the appraisal report for the Manufactured Home to meet the documentation requirement.
Operationalizing FHA Single Family Housing Policy Handbook 4000.1, Part II
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
To work from the whole rulebook rather than this one page: download the corpus — every register on this site, verbatim, each with its source snapshot and effective date — then follow the methodology. It asks your assistant to answer only from the downloaded text, cite the register id and effective date it used, and tell you when the corpus does not cover something instead of filling the gap from memory. Running it locally also means no one sees which regulations you are looking at.
