In this video I go super deep on how I earned my first $100k - had I known these simple tricks, I could have gotten there quicker!
BONUS - I also share with you my first 10 years of income so you can see what a real working cat property IA can make.
Disclaimer - this income is not typical. Also, many hard working adjusters make quite a bit more than me. The income potential for this career is variable so it is possible to have bad years - it pays to let your 12-24 months emergency fund be the first place your money goes when you have a great year or years.

EDIT I made an error in this video.. I double checked my income numbers and I actually earned $75,201 in 2001. I truly have no idea where I came up with $43,000!
@Derrick F I do cat work - which means that I'll travel to do claims. You definitely don't have to move.
@Derrick F Oh, I gotcha.. Florida is actually a great home state because you can also pursue daily claims and Florida is a great place for that. Also Florida can be a hurricane magnet. For hail, you might work Denver one year and Dallas the next, then Phoenix.. So it doesn't make any sense to move to chase hail.
Always give a one hour window because you never know what to expect. Traffic is a perfect example. Also some insureds talk to much look at this look at this. Watched this video 3 years ago and have never turned down a claim. Live in central texas and go to Oklahoma boarder to Louisiana boarder to Mexico Mexico boarder. Have gone as far west as San Saba. But would go to New Mexico boarder if asked.
@@AdjusterTV what about Alabama?
If you are paying hotel and expenses such as gas /food and say 40% withholding for self employed - the break even might be something to consider?
How much should I set aside for expenses until I start getting paid?
Can't wait to get into this, top adjuster with pilot auto and stayed around for supplements. Next onto property getting my license next month!
How's it going now?
Mathew, I can't express how absolutely awesome your videos are! You give amazing value to your listeners & subscribers. I've been researching and reading about this industry for 2 months now and you stand head and shoulders above most of the IA pundits/teachers out there. The quality speaks for itself. I appreciate everything you showcase to your audience. As they say, cream rises to the top.
Aw man! You made my day:) are your u deploying for Michael?
Is it possible to be an adjuster as a team? My husband and I want to learn and work together
Thank you for providing this excellent resource. It is obvious, you want future ia's to succeed! Excites me to begin my journey into this feild of work.
Welcome! Have you visited us over at Facebook.com/groups/AdjusterTV ?
Considering starting a career in this from scratch after a few years of electric what would be your primary focus for someone stepping into this field.
Been a staff cat UM for over 10 years. Always ask myself if I worked as hard as I do now but as an independent how much more I could make. Currently gross. 145k a year but feel like I could make so much more and be more in control.
That's a pretty good living, Lee. I think moving up to NFIP, large loss commercial, or becoming a general adjuster would probably take you to the next level.
Hail YES! This channel rocks!
Why do I feel like the 3 individuals that gave you thumbs down on this vid are the 3 "TROUBLESOME" claims you were talking about? Keep up the good INSPIRATIONAL vids. Can't wait for the next one.
I can only assume they were momentarily distracted from hitting the thumbs up button and just missed. ;)
Thank you for this great context of video... What college degree would you say will best prepare an individual for this type of industry? My home state is Florida do you suggest condominium catastrophic insurance claims as the holy grail?
lol!! Whatever works.
Thank you for this vid. Good information regarding what to expect and thanks for the advice on how to do that little extra.
If I wanted to make well over $100,000 do I have to be contracted by more than one firm?
Depends. If you do cat, you can earn that by running with the same firm all through storm season. If you want to do that on daily, yes, you'll likely need to run with multiple firms.
Hello, I’m a full time firefighter (24 on 48 off). I’d like to do adjusting part time to start. Not trying to get rich, but have good supplemental income with possible CAT deployment. I live in north Texas. Would adjusting be a good move?
Well, it depends.. if you’re able to leave home for several weeks/possibly months at a time, it can be a good move.
North Texas gets hit with hail all the time so you might not have to travel far. But a typical cat deployment is very busy for at least the first couple of weeks. As in 16 hour days 7 days a week kinda thing.
Thank you for the reply. Other than CAT - is there part time work as an IA?
@@gregorywoodbury7415 hey... generally speaking as an IA no there is not part time work, as most of the work is seasonal. Some parts of the year the work is plentiful and you will be working full-time plus overtime. Other parts of the year you will struggle to find anything to do.
Abosultle love your channel my dude! Been an adjuster for 14 months now !
How is it going for you
Would love to know how its going, if you like it better than your last job, etc.
@@aquatone327 yeah it’s been the best thing that’s happened to me! Love being outdoors and meeting a lot of really nice people. Going to Austin TX (from Columbus Ohio) Wednesday because of the big hail they had!
@@loganroca I’m from Columbus, Oh too! Would be awesome to connect with you, and learn more about this line of work!
@@loganroca is the money any good? What firm are you with?
Great advice! Thanks.
What do you think of the value of the New York license?
:) I recommend getting these 5 licenses FIRST:
1. your home state - if your home state doesn't have a licensing requirement, then I'd make Indiana your DHS
2. Texas
3. Oklahoma
4. Minnesota
5. Florida
After that, you can dig into trying to get NY if you want. It's a lot more challenging than many other licenses. Also, NY doesn't get a whole lot of hail. Usually, if I work NY it's for hurricane or snow. And those don't always happen every year. The midwest from Texas to the Canadian border and from Colorado to Ohio is generally where I work the most as a cat adjuster.
I'll put it this way, I make 95% of my money in the midwest. Coastal stuff, CA, NY, etc are usually things that happen occasionally and I consider gravy when I've already worked a ton of hail in the midwest.
This sounds almost like being a real estate agent.
I think it's like any kind of job that requires a person to be a self-starter and that rewards persistence and action-taking.
Its not possible to be on time in south Florida fyi
Awesome advice, thank you.
Anytime, John
I know that’s right!!
Awesome stuff! Couldn't agree more!
Ha, thanks, Eric!
What if they accept a check from you but when construction goes into affect, the price changes
Iphone has a do not disturb feature too. I love it
How did your knees survive climbing 36 roofs in one day?
They were 3/12 one stories:)
What's your opinion of getting a license to work in NJ? Is there good money there?
Hey there! Yes absolutely. NJ is densely populated and there’s going to be a ton of daily work there for sure.
Please keep posting
Where's the video from our training?
do you get paid daily? you said percentage, on average, in dollar amount, how much you make per claim?
You get paid a commission per claim. In my career, I made roughly $350 or so per claim and I did mostly cat property work.
@@AdjusterTV thank you
Hi Matthew. I'm seriously thinking of going into IA claims and I live in Florida. Do you think six-figures (or near it) is possible without leaving this state?
I would say to start, probably not. Most IA firms won't hire new IAs to run daily claims. If you have a couple of seasons of cat work under your belt then IA firms will be much more likely to start sending you daily work.
So yes.. it is POSSIBLE.. but you'll probably need to work up to it. Make sense?
Everything about this career takes patience and some grit.:)
@@AdjusterTV Can you take daily claims under LLC ? or is it all 1099
Thank you.
Hi Matthew this is Matthew I am living in california planning on going to texas any tips on starting and getting my adjusters liscense
Hey, Matt! www.adjustertv.com/licensing Check it
Ok thanks really like your channel man keep it up
Hey! First I want to say you’ve been a huge help and I look forward to meeting you one day. I live in Texas and I’m getting certified, taking xactimate training and what not next month. I have no experience and I’m 19. I want to dive deep into this and I have one huge question. After I get licensed, what’s my first step to start getting claims. I know I need to apply to multiple IA firms but do I just sit and wait for a call? Thank you sir!
Check check check kkkck
lol:)
Hi Matt, totally hooked on your videos lol. I was wondering if you suggest opening a llc or corporation do help with taxes as well as liability.
Depends. If you only ever work 1099, you can get with a tax advisor and see if starting an LLC is appropriate. But a lot of firms pay W2.
