102) Under Construction Property Appraisal on a 2055?

Can the appraisal of a proposed or "under construction" property be completed on a 2055 form?

Dear Lisa,
I doubt that Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac would accept a 2055 for this purpose.

I suppose that if in your Scope of Work discussion, the client insists you use the 2055 report, there is nothing in the USPAP to prevent you from doing so. However, I think that you are looking for trouble if you do. I suggest that you tell the client they can have a URAR for the same price, which hopefully will be enough to make it worthwhile to do the assignment.
