(b) Form 70D A desktop appraisal (Form 70D) is an appraisal assignment for which the scope of work does not include fieldwork by the appraiser.

(i) Desktop appraisal requirements A Mortgage delivered with a desktop appraisal must: ■ Be an Accept Mortgage ■ Be secured by a 1-unit Primary Residence ■ Be a purchase transaction Mortgage ■ Have a maximum loan-to-value (LTV) ratio of 90%. Note: Mortgages originated with a desktop appraisal that have an LTV ratio higher than 90% (as calculated using the value obtained from the desktop appraisal) will be eligible for sale to Freddie Mac if the loan amount does not increase and all other eligibility requirements continue to be met, including the requirement that the LTV ratio calculated using the contract sales price is less than or equal to 90%. If the LTV ratio increases above 90% because of an increase in the loan amount, the appraisal report must be upgraded to an appraisal with an interior and exterior inspection (Form 70). ■ Be delivered with the ULDD Data Points described in the data delivery instructions in Section 6302.8(a) (ii) Mortgages that are ineligible for a desktop appraisal The following Mortgages are not eligible for a desktop appraisal: ■ CHOICERenovation® Mortgages ■ Community Land Trust Mortgages ■ Condominium Unit Mortgages ■ Construction to Permanent Mortgages ■ Cooperative Share Loans ■ GreenCHOICE Mortgages® ■ Mortgages secured by: ❑ A Manufactured Home ❑ Mixed-use property ❑ Property that is undergoing renovation or rehabilitation ❑ Property acquired in a Non-arm’s Length Transaction ❑ Property where the property owner at the time of sale (i.e., the property seller) is a lender or a government entity ❑ Property subject to resale restrictions, excluding age-based resale restrictions ■ Renovation Mortgages (iii) Form 70D upgrade requirements The appraisal report must be upgraded to Form 70 when one or more of the following conditions exists: ■ Third-party data sources do not provide sufficient information about both the interior and exterior physical characteristics of the subject property for the appraiser to develop a credible and adequately supported appraisal ■ There are significant discrepancies (e.g., room count, gross living area, size, condition) among available data sources that cannot be reconciled by the appraiser to develop a credible and adequately supported appraisal ■ The subject property is undergoing renovation or rehabilitation ■ Data sources used to develop the appraisal, including the sales contract, reflect the presence of physical deficiencies or adverse conditions that indicate the property has a condition rating of C5 or C6 or the quality rating is Q6.

(c) Forms 70H and 465H (i) Hybrid appraisal requirements If the Mortgage is submitted to Loan Product Advisor®, the Last Feedback Certificate must indicate the Mortgage is eligible for a hybrid appraisal report. Note: If the Last Feedback Certificate does not indicate the Mortgage is eligible for delivery with an appraisal reported on Form 70H or 465H, but the Mortgage is eligible for automated collateral evaluation (ACE), ACE+ PDR or a desktop appraisal, the Seller may deliver the Mortgage with a hybrid appraisal report. Each Mortgage must be delivered with the ULDD Data Points described in the data delivery instructions in Section 6302.8(a). Form 70H or 465H can be used for a hybrid appraisal report with a PDR. The appraiser may contact the property data collector to verify any information in the PDR and adjust that information, as necessary, to complete Form 70H or 465H. (Refer to Section 5603.6 for property data collector requirements and Section 5604.2 for PDR exhibit requirements.) The PDR must be retained in the Mortgage file and must be submitted to Freddie Mac through the Beyond ACE application programming interface (bACE API). When preparing a hybrid appraisal report, the appraiser must: ■ Analyze the information in the PDR and review the photographs ■ Identify the name of the property data collector in the body of the appraisal report ■ Report the effective date of the appraisal report as the date the appraiser developed the opinion of market value ■ Complete the Appraisal Assignment Type fields, located in the Additional Comments section of Form 70H or 465H according to the requirements in the table below: Appraisal assignment type Field label Required entry Appraisal Assignment Type Hybrid Subject Property Data Collection Type Physical Subject Property Data Collection Date YYYY-MM-DD Subject Property Data Workforce (e.g., select the applicable identifier to describe the data collector who completed the PDR) Appraiser AppraiserTrainee RealEstateAgent HomeInspector InsInspector (Insurance Inspector) Other (ii) Ineligible Mortgages The following Mortgages are not eligible for a hybrid appraisal report: ■ CHOICERenovation Mortgages ■ Construction to Permanent Mortgages ■ Cooperative Share Loans ■ GreenCHOICE Mortgages ■ Mortgages secured by: ❑ 2- to 4-unit properties ❑ Manufactured Homes, including CHOICEHomes ❑ Proposed construction (i.e., the construction has not started and the description of construction to be completed is based on plans and specifications and/or similar documentation) ■ Renovation Mortgages (iii)PDR upgrade to Form 70 or 465 requirements The appraiser must perform an interior and exterior inspection reported on Form 70 or 465 when one or more of the following conditions exists: ■ The PDR does not provide sufficient information about both the interior and exterior physical characteristics of the subject property for an appraiser to develop a credible and adequately supported appraisal report ■ There are significant discrepancies (e.g., room count, living area, size, condition) among available data sources, including the PDR, that cannot be reconciled by the appraiser to develop a credible and adequately supported appraisal report

(d) ACE+ PDR upgrade requirements The Seller must analyze the information in the PDR and review the photographs. The Seller’s review of the PDR may reveal that the subject property is not eligible for ACE+ PDR or has characteristics that require the Seller to upgrade to an appraisal report on Form 70, 70H, 465 or 465H or an appraisal report form applicable to the property type. Property characteristics or conditions that require a PDR to be upgraded to an appraisal include: ■ The building status is “Proposed” (not eligible for upgrade to a hybrid appraisal) ■ 0 bedrooms above grade and/or 0 bathrooms above grade ■ A measured finished area above grade of less than 400 square feet ■ Mixed use property (i.e., altered or modified specifically to support or facilitate a nonresidential or income-producing use)

Operationalizing Freddie Mac Single-Family Seller/Servicer Guide 5604.1 — Appraisal report forms, PDRs and inspection types

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.
