Hi Lisa!
Yep, they have the same rules, here. I had just finished appraisal school in March and I am still working on my hours, too, to get licensed. Fortunately for me, I have a B.S. degree in Air Traffic Control, so I don't have to worry about the hours holding me back as far as the college degree requirement goes. I knew that degree would come in handy one day!! LOL!!  Since I came down with IBS, I cannot control air traffic anymore. Wayyyyy too stressful!!!
Anyway, I have had to quit appraising for the time being until I can get stabilized again because all the hours on the road made me really unstable this summer (Aug). I had 2 appraisal jobs. I was doing residential appraisals in the mornings and land appraisals in the evenings and my radius was 150 miles with both jobs!! So, too much time on the road caused too much stress and bad dieting (alot of fast food) and here I am!!
I really hope I can return to work early next year. We are busted broke!!! My senior appraiser needs me back really bad. He's super busy because of the super wide radius he has around Atlanta!!! He will appraise anywhere, just about!! He does 160-180 appraisals a month and I know your husband is going to think that is totally insane and it IS!!! He's already been hospitalized once for non-cardiac related chest pains (stress, is all it was) and he's insane. A mad man......With just him, me, a data entry person and one other appraiser. Well, now that I'm gone he has had to hire another one to take my place. He's crazy!!!
I love it, love it, love it!!! But, I gotta take care of me first! I hope your husband does really well!! Tell him to just stick with it and business will come. It's really hard to get business unless you find a crazy mad man to work for like I did.
It's an awesome business to be in but it is too much for my IBS. I don't care. When I get stable again, I will probably jump right back into the fire again!!! 
Tell your hubby I said good luck and keep pushing for those hours!!
