Gear for adjusters plus how much does it cost to become an IA? | Viewer questions

[@user-xz7cq2dv1q]

Seriously, this is the best video you've ever made about starting. I've sent it to a half dozen people before I even finished it and I'm coming up on 3 years as an IA

[@AdjusterTV]

Wow, thanks! Just doing what we can to help out.

[@hidros1461]

Is there still money in IA? How much are you averaging yearly income? If you don't mind. Thank you

[@Da-veed]

20:00 I needed this advice. Could you give more advice regarding this? I know that would help many of us that’s trying to switch fields. Great video overall, thank you!!!

[@AdjusterTV]

I did a whole video about this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ioPRonmcjtqCf9k

[@JorgeParra-z4e]

Good afternoon! Do you have any adjusting traing school information in the following states, Ca, Fl? Please advise. Thank you!

[@SherwenGaspard-kz7ts]

If my budget is small can I start with at least three state licenses and have a chance of getting deployed?. I understand its recommended to get 5 or more licenses to get deployed.

[@AdjusterTV]

Yes, you can. Texas, Florida and Minnesota would be the first ones I would think of. But remember that your startup dollars go farthest on licenses since they open up new states for you to work.

[@jessyepperson5612]

How much out of pockets expenses do you take on?

[@AdjusterTV]

Hey, Jessy.. Depending on the deployment, the adjuster bears all expenses. Depending on how a person sets their taxes up, they should be able to write some or most of those expenses off.

[@jessyepperson5612]

@@AdjusterTV Thanks for the response. I really like what you do with your channel. It caters to people interested, like myself, and people that have been doing it for a while like yourself.

[@matt007]

If you get your AIC/CPCU a lot of states will waive the testing requirements for a license.

Great show I been doing storms for yrs. I found droom n camerato work good on roof a lot of homes on the ocean are about 4 stores high

[@Occupiedshell]

taking time out of the day to watch this channel has been a blessing. Great stuff

[@bmoon1065]

I've been using the Canon Elph series cameras and you are absolutely right, the camera doors and in/out doesn't last. Unfortunately, the Fuji XP140 is saying discontinued and is $329 on Amazon. Any other recommendations or do you think the Fuji is worth it?

[@AdjusterTV]

Dangit!!! I would say that the best thing to do is to find a camera with no moving parts. Check out this video I did on the topic: www.adjustertv.com/posts/2020/10/01/adjustercamera

[@bethanyutke9890]

Did you do some homework and find a camera?

[@jessyepperson5612]

I don't mind work. I've done travel work as well. But I'm worried about time away from my family. Does Cat work keep you away from home a lot or does it just depend?

[@AdjusterTV]

It definitely depends, but if a person wants to earn some good money, they need to be prepared to be gone a lot.

[@jessyepperson5612]

Thanks again for the response. I've learned a great deal about adjusting through this channel and look forward to more videos.

[@ivanblanco4126]

What if I want to do local. I’m not really interested in doing cat. Or is that not a choice

[@ivanblanco4126]

Also justa homes ?

[@JargonPorter]

You’d be hard pressed to start daily with no experience.

[@user-xz7cq2dv1q]

He talks about this in a few other videos. One way is get ready, do all of what he's talking about here, and wait until a CAT hits your area and quit your day job and work that on your first offer, then transition to clean up for that storm and then transition to daily. The other way is to just get on rosters everywhere and make it clear you ONLY want daily, Then you wait till there's a big storm that pulls away the resources in your area. The latter is how I started. Also, find a mentor, super important thing to have one, if it's a friend, a school, or one of the firms like Pilot that take newbies this will help you when you're overwhelmed and you will be.

[@AdjusterTV]

Another way to skin this cat is to start doing photo and scope only assignments via an app like wegolook.com inspectorsondemand.com or onsourceonline.com and start learning how to scope structures and autos. You can do this kind of thing on the side before quitting your day job.

[@byroncharles]

Good video thank you

[@AdjusterTV]

No problem 👍

[@Favfn]

Whats a good second job to have while getting into this industry?

[@zairelaroussi7753]
