Central Florida Ride Along Needed

Hello. My name is Frank and I am currently taking the pre licensing courses here in Florida. I am looking for someone to do a ride along with for the experience. I’ve reached out to several in this area but they all tell me that their insurance will not allow ride alongs, which I totally understand. Is there anyone in the central Florida area (Orlando, Leesburg etc.) that can help me with a ride along? Or, do you have any recommendation on who I might be able to contact?

Thanks in advance.

Frank

Frank, you may want to contact some Mentors, CMIs or CPIs within 80 to 100 miles, or closer, to your area and communicate with them. Maybe one, or more, will help you. Be discerning, as some inspectors feel as though they are training their competition by ride-alongs or mentoring or hiring and some are into it just for the $.

Here is the link for Mentors: https://www.nachi.org/mentoring and InterNACHI® - International Association of Certified Home Inspectors and https://ccpia.org/commercial-property-inspector-mentoring/ and https://ccpia.org/find-a-mentor/

And the link for CMIs: https://certifiedmasterinspector.org/members

And the link for CPIs: https://www.nachi.org/certified-inspectors

Here is InterNACHI’s membership guide: https://cdn-e1.nachi.org/pdf/internachi-guide-2025-04-04-000.pdf

P.S. Welcome to our forum. Enjoy!

Thank you!

That is funny. LOL

Get insurance.

Whats funny? I guess you’re not looking for a ride along with a female.

I have no problem with a ride along with a female. Are you in Florida?

Larry, Thank you for the info. I found someone willing to help. I appreciate the help.

I was going to offer, I’m trying to limit these to vacant properties though. Right now, in the past 10 days or so, I’m 0 for 6 on vacants. It doesn’t help this is the dog days August for my business either. I’m up over last year, but so far this has been my slowest month this year.

Thank you Mark. I would love to ride along on vacant whenever you can. I am right there by the Villages myself. I can shoot you a message with my number if you’d like.

Good day Frank! I’m over in Brevard county, I’ve been inspecting for over 11 years and would be happy to have you ride along!

Thanks, I will email you.

So Frank came along with me on an inspection yesterday. Smaller house, my neighborhood, so a quite short commute :wink:

The house is in pretty good shape, the roof is less than a year old.

We found a handful of things, mostly minor stuff, all the majors work properly.

Here’s the roofie :wink:
