Become a land surveyor?

[Lisa Foreman]

Is anyone here a real estate investor and land surveyor? I'm looking for a way to save money by picking up a skill that I currently pay a lot for. The training to become a land surveyor seems fairly minimal and surveys cost at least several hundred dollars for a few hours work. Of course it's probably a conflict of interest to survey your own property, but I imagine I'd be able to swap work with a friend. Thoughts?
