Self Employed
Well…it is a little scary but I think it has to be.
I will be self employed in two weeks. I resigned my position as a contractor at the Foriegn Service Institute today. I’m going to work for Advantage Home Appraisal.
I’ve been an Appraiser Trainee since November and have been planning on doing this since long before then. We just had to wait until there was enough business to justify it. There is now enough business that this is no longer something I want to do but clearly this is what I have to do. Lisa can’t do all of the work we are getting by herself and she is ready to start being a mom again.
I plan on using this opportunity to go back to working on my education and improving my resume while doing as many appraisals as possible. Hopefully business keeps up after interest rates begin to rise from the all time lows they are at now. I think we will do alright…we’ve picked up many new clients over the past few weeks.
Wish us luck…and if you know anyone in Virginia who needs a home appraisal please let them know about us!!!
