The young man who appraised our home didn't have to take alot of time to do the work but did earn decent pay to do the job. What kind of training does one need and where do you get that? Then, how do you find a position as an appraiser. Well, the Real Estate industry isn't hot right now so I'm not sure about this idea but I need to find something legit to supplement my income and these internet scams are a killing waste of time. Even the ones that say there is no up front fee in getting started eventually hit you with the fact that they are really selling manuals and guides as a product and not a real opportunity.
Veggie is think about a sales license, not appraisal. 150 hours of school Pass the test work as an apprentice under a licensed appraiser another 400 hours of school another test The process takes about 2 years.
You would need to take the required classes and pass the required tests. I know some states require a 90 hour course.
It depends on your area. There is a course you have to take, pass a test and become licensed. That is the trick, becoming licensed, as most states require you to do a mentorship with a licensed appraiser. This apprenticeship can be very challenging to obtain, as most appraisers don't want the competition. I know several people that have taken the course and passed the test, only to never work in the field because they cannot get the mentorship.
