Implementation of the 2008 Real Property Appraiser Qualification Criteria 

Here comes some very significant changes to the Real Property Appraiser Qualification Criteria. It has been extremely hard to become an appraiser in the past, and now it will be even harder. Any time someone asks me what it takes to become an appraiser I tell them "I would not wish it on even my worst enemy" (not that I have any enemies that I am aware of) but if I did, "I would not wish it on even my worst enemy"! GOD help every intern, and I prey that GOD gives serious wisdom to anyone considering getting into the field.
