You need to make sure that you know what an appraiser does, how much they get paid, and what your day will be like. Then and only then will you be able to decide whether or not you should move forward.

Most states require that you take a pre license course of at least 90 hours before you can move forward. While this may seem like a lot of hard work, it is something that needs to be done.

After you are all set up, the only thing that you have to do is begin to market your services. Remember, if nobody knows that you are a real estate appraiser you are not going to get a lot of work.
