How hard is it to get the 2000 trainee hours?

[Caligirl]

Haven't you heard, nice guys finish last.

Suggest you take some time to rethink the situation. Several people have not only been nice to you, but have given you some very good advice. Come back when you get a grip and you will be welcomed.

 

[Mr Rex]

How hard? For an arse whole like you, impossible.

Just ran into this dated, cooled off thread but can't help writing...

What makes you think "bragging about your school" would make a point or leave a good impression on someone?

If this is trolling, you fooled everyone which grants the success of trolling.
If not, I wouldn't want to be a borrower having my property appraised by you.

Of course you have to like them, they are your bread and butter.

What are you talking about? How are agents/brokers "My bread and butter" or most appraiser's "bread and butter" in any regular way?

Before spending any money I would suggest you fnd somebody to work with. The hardest part of the whole process is finding a mentor, unless you were born into a family of appraisers. It's not so much that nobody wants to train their competition as that it is very time consuming for the mentor to take on trainees. The clients that the mentor has will likely not accept your work until late in the game or until you get certified. That means that you and the mentor will need to view each property together.

Could not agree more.

Well, if you are concerned about liabilities for practice, let me tell you that appraising is not the profession to strive for.

However, I would like to say that I agree with you that obtaining a license for selling real estate should be on par with the requirements for obtaining an appraisal license.

I also think the same is true for the brokers and underwriters in the loan process.

I second that.
