Correspondents may utilize any of the following inspection options to satisfy the post standard disaster inspection requirement:
• Appraisal Update and/or Completion Report (1004D) for exterior inspections
• 1004D interior/exterior inspections for FHA loans not closed prior to the disaster incident date

Our investor will require either a 1004D or the new Catastrophic Disaster Area Property Inspection. Either form will be acceptable however please note there will need to be an interior inspection to prove no interior damage.
