All appraisals must include a successful Submission Summary Report (SSR). Note: The Fannie Mae Collateral Underwriter (CU) score is required. On FNMA/FHLMC Second Home & Investment and Conventional Investment products, if FHLMC Loan Product Advisor (LPA) is utilized to approve the loan and it provides an SSR score within the findings, then the Freddie Mac Loan Collateral Advisor (LCA) score must be utilized for the appraisal waterfall. Only one SSR score (either the Fannie Mae CU OR Freddie Mac LCA) may be in the loan file.
