Looking to Connect with Appraisers in Houston (Career Change)

[Sandeep Majumder]

Hi everyone. I've spent the last 14 years of my career in oil and gas, and I am looking to pivot my career into real estate in addition to continuing to do flips. I have given thought to several areas of real estate to get into, and I think becoming a licensed appraiser would provide the type of flexibility I would like in a 9-5. In addition to this I would have MLS access and insight into how appraisers analyze properties which would also help during deal analysis for my flipping business. If we have any licensed appraisers here I would love any information you could provide regarding the job market here in Houston or any other information which could be helpful, or if someone knows a licensed appraiser who would be willing to discuss this with me I would appreciate referrals as well. I am open to other career suggestions within real estate as well.
