This is one business where it's nearly impossible to say what your average income is, the best I can say is that it's feast or famine, if you don't have other sources of income ie: writing bonds, doing PI, Repo, Process Service or a regular job, then you probably have more famine than feast.

Well I don't mind telling you I'm rich as hell. I just live in a Box down by the bridge because I like the view.

LOL, Mark. If anything, you are honest. Dani, our pay may range from nothing to thousands, depending on the bond agent we are working for (including chasing our own bonds). This is NOT a "get rich quick business", whether you write bonds for yourself, or chase them for yourself or others. The ones who succeed are the ones who do the research, excel beyond expectations, and know their business. It literally takes years of knowledge and experience to succeed.
I am not trying to brush you off, but make sure you have all the facts before you decide to take the plunge. Also, know and understand the laws of state that you want to work in. If I remember, you are from another country, so this is particularly important in your situation.

I think the 5% fta rate is on the number of bonds not the bail amounts. We have more problems on the $5 - $10K bonds than on the $50 - $100K bond amounts.
So if we write $5M in bonds a year, we rarely have a fta that we actually have to look for that has a bail amount over $20K. The larger bonds, at least with us, are so well collateralized that if the defendant takes a walk, we own mommas house!
