The changes in the world of real estate appraising today is amazing. I don't know if you've noticed but the AMC (appraisal management companies) along with FHA have no interest in just a residential appraiser any longer. it's either certified or nothing. What this means in my service areas of Mass and RI is 200 hours of classroom (not online classes actual classroom) and an associates degree or related classes. What is so bad about being just a licensed real estate appraiser these days. Can you imagine the cost just to become and appraiser and who will hire trainees if these companies won't allow them to appraise. It is truly amazing. To end on a positive note though, all these changes will make the appraiser a valuable and rare commodity.
I am a certified residental real estate appraiser, My service areas include Cape Cod and the islands of Martha's Vineyard and Nantucket.
