8. Real Estate Notary and Signing Agent

Becoming a commissioned notary public and a certified loan signing agent requires a small upfront investment in state licensing, background checks, and training. However, it pays off by providing extreme flexibility and professional-level compensation.

Title companies, escrow officers, and real estate agencies rely on mobile notaries to guide buyers and sellers through massive stacks of mortgage documents. As an independent signing agent, you receive text messages or emails offering a specific signing at a specific time and location. If the appointment fits your schedule, you accept it. If you are busy, you simply decline.
