My lender is asking for a home appraisal, can I just forward comps or does it have to be full blown home appraisal, I'm not asking for refinance just modification of my loan.

You will probably need an appraisal. An appraisal takes much more than just "comps" into account. Plus, it is also necessary for the opinion of value to come from an independent and unbiased third party that does not have any interest in the property or the loan.

Yes correct you will need an appraisal, It will need to be valued from an outside source. As stated in apexoffice response. Hope this helps.

No, I'm asking my lender who is Nationstar mortgage to modify my loan, due to financial loss, they are asking me to get my home appraised which I hate doing because of the cost involved, basically if they modify my loan then great but if they refuse then I'm out money!

They want the appraisal to see what the true value is. I think in your case they may be willing to work with you. If you are correct and your value is more than 100k less than the loan amount, then they DONT want to foreclose and lose that money. It is in their best interest to find a way for you to repay that loan.
