We’re working on a project to open up more work to home inspectors and I’m trying to get as accurate an idea as possible what percentage of home inspectors have a background in building for the proposal. Please take the time to take the poll.
Home inspections is one of America’s fastest growing industries. Nearly every real estate transaction requires an inspection. Home inspectors enjoy low overhead, low supply bills and high profits. And unlike contracting, home inspections are easier on the back muscles
I had a very exciting lifestyle before becoming a home inspector.
I traveled the world rehabilitating U.S. Embassies. We simply hired local contractors (of that country) and trained them daily in order to assist in the refurbishing process of unsecured areas of the U.S. Embassies.
Once I met my beautiful Dominican wife in the D.R, that was the end of traveling for me. I decided to get into home inspections.
