Doing FHA Inspections

I have a friend who is very busy here in Orange County, CA doing reverse mortgages. While not all of his transactions require an inspection, a significant number have roofing , plumbing or other issues that need to be cleared before the loan can fund.


He has asked me to do a couple of inspections, but if it is an FHA loan, they require the inspector to be LICENSED. Has anyone run up against this? Is it a fact? What kind of license is required?


I could get quite a bit more business if I could cross this hurdle.


Thanks.

Not licensed, but HUD-FHA Certified. I got my certification number so long ago, I’ve forgotten what I went through to get it. Try www.hud.gov for additional information with regard to same. icon_idea.gif
