Licensed Real Estate Appraiser Questions
Hello,
I'm looking at getting licensed as a Real Estate Appraiser (in South Carolina) and I have a few questions. To preface, my ultimate appraisal goal is to graduate with a BS in Finance and get on with a commercial real estate appraisal firm post graduation.
1. I'm a full time student, is there a possibility to take classes for licensure while going to University? I.e. online courses and weekend courses.
2. Do I need a mentor to take classes for licensure or can I go ahead and pay out of pocket?
3. Have you ever heard of anyone doing appraisals while still in college? How did that work out for them?
I'd like to get to the point where I can work as an appraiser in the summer or at least knock out some preliminary appraiser education for some relevant experience.
Thanks for taking the time to read this!
