I’d take it only if travel pays at least IRS mileage and there’s a 1 hour minimum per visit. otherwise I’d pass. In the Keys, 20-40 mile drives turn $50/h into roughly $25-$35 effective after transit, plus weekend traffic. What’s the average appointment length, miles reimbursed per trip, and how often do assignments pay the $150 rate?

Did a will/POA signing in Marathon last year. showed 10 early, client 25 late, parking was a pain. I’d take it if it’s a flat per-appointment rate with paid wait time, clear cancellation/no-show fee, and itemized mileage/tolls. Bilingual bump helps. Clarify E&O, background check, scanbacks, doc drop.

I’d do it if mileage and wait time are covered. Did a Key Largo trust package where the condo required guest registration and the signer was 30 minutes late - now I confirm witnesses and building access up front and include a 15‑minute grace before wait fees.
