    If you need to work from home, real estate sales is not the ticket. They are in the car all of the time, especially nights and weekends. I held licenses in sales and appraising when I was much younger. Appraising is something easily done from home. The problem is getting the work. You have to get in with banks and mortgage companies to get the work. You can invest in everything you need to work from home. A lot of the appraisers hire someone else to go out and actually do the physical inspections of the property, take the measurements, and take the photos. I don't know if you have checked into it but, in my state anyway, there is a lot more to getting the appraiser's license. Here you have to be an apprentice before you can become licensed, and the yearly fees are quite high compared to the cost of a real estate license. Good luck to you.
