Default VA Inspections

Do you need to have a special certification to do inspections for VA loans?

I perform home inspections for clients with VA loans quite a bit. Their bank is usually requesting the NPMA-33 form stating the status of WBI at their prospective home.

VA inspections are performed just like a typical inspection except that they need the special form that I described. It takes me a whole three minutes to fill out this form.

Interesting. Since I am so close to both Fort Lewis and McCord AFB, I get a lot of VA inspections...... about 40% I would say. No problems and have never filled out a NPMA-33. It does not meet our State standards for our pest reports. On the 2 occasions I have been asked for one, a simple call to the underwriter took care of the problem.
