An "Independent" Appraiser

[Charles West]

If you are halfway charming, you can do very well waiting tables at your finer dining establishments. It is mentally and physically exhausting but, you can make decent coin and you only work nights, so available for day work to keep your hand in. I did it a couple of times, granted I was younger, but older guys make the best waiters.

I'm looking for advice... I currently work for a family appraisal company. However, I'd like to expand my work load without creating more work, stress, or tax related issues for my current company/boss...who is semi-retired and doesn't want to expand/advertise/invest. I'm expected to take over the current family business in the next couple years so I don't necessarily want to start a new company, but I also need the work now. Is it common to do "Side-work" as an Independent Appraiser? Are there many Independent Appraiser's out there without an official company. Most importantly, will I be taken serious by lenders and AMC's without an official company or DBA?

No one cares. Use your name...its all we got anyway.

My apprentice that just finished up named hers after herself. I think it sounds great and helps build your local brand with Attys/etc.

Especially at the male version of Tilted Kilt in West Hollywood area. LOL
