No, you can’t find a job on this website. If you’re looking to become a home inspector, this is a good place to start, but you haven’t even scratched the surface. Like any business or profession, there are start-up costs involved. You should expect to spend several-thousands of dollars initially, before you perform your first inspection. ---

We tend to make it look easy. We walk around the house with our clip boards and our flashlights. However, I recommend you watch this free show [http://www.nachi.tv/episode53](http://www.nachi.tv/episode53) to get a little sense of what all we have to know, just in one area of the process. ---

Mellisa: In what area do you live? Perhaps, one of our members would allow you to tag-along, which would give you an idea of what we do and how we do it. Good luck ---

Try these guys for more info. They’ve got an office in Oceanside, not to far from Hemet… [http://www.home-inspect.com/](http://www.home-inspect.com/) You can also try contacting your local Ameri-spec office, they’re occasionally looking to train new inspectors with little or no experience. Good Luck! ---

I am new to this and I could really use some assistance. I have been in the construction industry for over 20 years and now I have made a transition over to home inspections. My dilemma is, I’m trying to find a good reasonable **E & O insurance** policy. that has descent coverage and won’t take you to the **CLEANERS** on expense, if you know what I mean. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thank You ---

Try Bob Pearson at Marion Allen Insurance in Georgia (800) 474-4472. He’s a friend of mine, an ex-inspector, and has E & O on a per-inspection basis, which I think works for people who are just starting out or who are doing limited amounts of inspections. Having said that, and although I believe that having insurance is a moral and ethical responsibility, the best way to probably avoid being sued is not to have insurance. Oops, did I say that? ---
