Overworked and underpaid?

In this episode, Blaine discusses the common rant amongst appraisers that they're overworked and underpaid. The reality is that many appraisers have simply never been taught how to set boundaries and budget their time. Appraisers have been perpetuating thy myth of 'feast or famine' for decades, which has lead to a generation of appraisers who actually believe they go through times of famine! 

We create our businesses and we get to choose who we work with and why we might want to work with them, or not. If an appraisal business is set up properly with a reasonable mix of lender and non-lender business there is absolutely no reason to experience the 'feast or famine' cycle that most appraisers create for themselves nor the need to work ridiculous hours thus lowering the per hour income metric.
