Pros and Cons of a Real Estate Appraiser?

[Anthony Vu]

Hi everyone,

I'm sure this isn't the forum for this but seeing as appraisers primarily work for bankers and lenders I figured I'd list this question here.

I'm currently contemplating a career as a real estate appraiser and wanted to get some insight on the profession. For the most part I understand the course work and training involved and I already have someone lined up to work under as an apprentice. 

My question is what are some of the pros and cons associated with a residential/commercial appraiser? What are some tips you would give someone going into the profession? 

Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Anthony
