I am a licensed appraiser and have been offered a position as a Commercial Trainee. I know there will be a learning curve and I am ready for whatever comes my way. I was curious if the inspection process is typically the same as residential? Will I be allowed to complete the inspections on my own without my mentor? I know in my residential trainee days I was able to inspect on my own with no questions asked. However, now lenders typically don't like to see trainees inspecting on their own unless the supervisor inspects also. However, in this case I am licensed and can't see how the inspection process would be that different. My mentor said I will be starting on very simple assignments. What can I expect in my first few months? I want to be as productive as possible and don't want to be sitting around with my hands in my pockets. Any input would be appreciated.
