Francesco,
Use the search feature for NACHI, ASHI, and NAHI as well as others on here as well as inspectionnews.com. There are "twisted" versions by members of each organization. I belong only to NACHI because they were the only organization when I started that seemed truly willing to help new inspectors establish themselves and I didn't feel like a moron asking questions of the membership. Some of the other boards, you can ask questions, but you feel inferior with some of the answers.
My advise is to join one, of course I recommend NACHI, but just one until you get established. NACHI will get you the most marketing bang for your buck - web presence, mouse pad promotion, e-mail to agents, etc. AS SOON as you join. Again, as soon as you join.
I recommend you use the money that you were going to use for joining other associations for marketing your business and then as you become established, join other organizations. For the organizations that require a minimum # of inspections to become members, I believe that any that you do even before you are a member count, but I am not sure of that.
Welcome to the boards and good luck.
