Every appraisal or reappraisal of property that an association is required to make shall be made as follows:

1. In accordance with the deputy director's rules and regulations on appraisals. Each appraisal shall be filed and preserved by the association during the life of the loan.

2. In the case of an insured or guaranteed loan, by any appraiser appointed by any lending, insuring or guaranteeing agency of the United States or of this state that shall insure or guarantee such loan, wholly or in part. A copy of any appraisal or of the commitment or certificate of the insuring or guaranteeing agency shall be filed and preserved by the association during the life of the loan.
