PAREA Update

Per month....

Will mentors be trained to be PAREA mentors....

 

[George Hatch]

I wonder how many of their members will consider that a profitable proposition for themselves?

SS benefits + mandatory minor retirement withdrawals + $1,875 sitting at computer screen....
Could be enough....

Enough to feed the beast. Remember, this isn't a one-on-one scenario, and the mentor can be a world away.

Good idea. What could go wrong?

So for the price of 4 appraisals, you can give a new high school graduate fresh off the street the same license you worked years to earn. AI members must not be too terribly bright.

I paid my mentor 1,800 a month for most of the 24 months I worked with him. That was beneficial for both of us.

At 40 years old....
With 3 young kids, a mortgage, car payments, etc....
$1,875 stinks....

At 70 years old....
With 3 adult kids, no mortgage, no car payments....
SS bennies, Medicare, some retirement money....
$1,875 stinks but not enough to turn my nose at it....
Just to "save" the appraisal industry for others....

As a sidenote, I'm glad to see so many former supply/demand deniers come to terms with the economic ramifications to them of enabling the sweatshop operations to add that many new heads to their existing level of competition.

And to think there are some who may have misjudged your philanthropy...

And now AI is the sweatshop.
