    I think I've probably looked at 200 apartment hits, and I don't see how any of them could ever be solved. There was 1 that had the address and unit number in the listing, so that one was possible, but the rest of them seemed literally impossible. If there's no way to give undeniable photo evidence, the HIT can't be completed? Like, unless it's a house, on a street where a google truck has come by after the house was constructed, or there's an exact match zillow listing, there's no way I can see of coming up with the required photo evidence.

    I mean, I guess you could contact the host but now they say that's against their rules, but is also encouraged, so don't do do it?

    What are y'alls daily goals, if you don't mind me asking? I'm wanting to take mturk a little more serious now but I don't know what is considered too high of a goal per day.

    It depends on where you are numbers-wise I think. I found that most of the high paying surveys were locked behind the 1000 HIT qualification. If you've got that, it's all about getting the workflow down.

    I shoot for $15-$20 a day to supplement my 9-5 income. That has been enough to pay off some debt and occasionally buy something I want.

    But how would you ever even get the address? Like all the $2 Florida ones that are up now, here's some photos of what may or may not be the unit you're renting, but probably not because they all look like promotional photos, and here's a photo of between 2 and 7 high rise apartment buildings.

    What I mean is, there's no amount of proof value I would ever accept from the presented information, so obviously the VRAPI people would at least meet my standard of evidence, and if they don't then I'm going to hold my breath and stomp my feet until they agree with me and stop posting impossible tasks that, hold on, I'm getting dizzy :?(

    I am at 16K approved HITs and make my minimum $10/day but sometimes I barely get there. I need to make my way over to the scripts section of this site and start learning how to be efficient. I feel like $15-20 a day seems feasible.

    If we're being honest your standards when it comes to HITs have proven to be insanely high and unreasonable for the pay at times.

    For apartment buildings where there is a single address and parcel number, you don't need the unit # to submit the hit if you can't find it. Some of the hits are impossible. Some aren't impossible but would take to much effort to be worth the time. Getting good at VRAPI requires being able to sort through and find the ones that you can do at a reasonable rate.

    Some are possible, some are scary, some are impossible.

    As with everything, everyone has their own strengths and weaknesses and if you're not comfortable, totally cool, don't stress it or force it. I'm sure you're better at something that other people are bad at. :)

    No no no, ALL the units are totally impossible.

    Everyone should stay away from all the condos.

    Who even wants those? I certainly don't. I never do units!
