I have been looking at a business in the Home inspection field.
However, I hear people more and more say that they are waiving home inspections when buying a house. Is this type of thinking having an impact on the home inspection industry? Also I’m looking at 2 different schools in Virginia–AHIT and ITA. Does anyone have any thoughts or recommendations on other schools in Virginia?

Just read an article about 10 mins ago that stated that 92% of home buyers use a home inspector. Came off a real estate website not a home inspectors website.

I also just got a call from a Realtor who had a listing I did a home inspection on after Hurricane Ivan. She wants me to inspect a home for herself. More realtors are beginning to know the value of an inspection.
