re: Thoughts on Becoming a Commercial Real Estate Appraiser?

Well, I think it is an excellent career with long-term serious potential if you stick with it.

Reason being the long road to certification and requirements you mention in your post. The appraisal industry has been squeezed for years in the residential category alone, so the commercial pool is even smaller.

In other words, few people going that route anymore leading to more potential in a long-term outlook.....just my two cents.
