Considering Home Inspection Profession as a carrer?

Don't be fooled by newspaper or web ads that claim you can make $1000 a day by simply paying someone X amount of dollars to get the training you need, or believe paying an owner of a Web based Home Inspection $289.00 dollars to become a Certified Home Inspector will be your key to success.

In reality starting a Home Inspection business is no different that starting any other type of business.
Like any other business the chance of making it in the Home Inspection Profession 1-2 years is less than 50%.
Apx. costs to get started for proper training, tools, computer, other office equipment, inspection report soft ware, insurance and other business start up expenses will be apx. $12,000-$20,000.
Apx time it takes to get proper training, and your 1st paying job will be 6-12 months.

In Arizona there are several things to consider prior to making the leap.
All Arizona Home Inspectors [ employees of a large firm, or independent inspectors] Are required to be State Certified.

Tips prior to taking the leap and quitting your daytime job.
***In addition to having the $12-20,000 you will need for start up costs, plan on having enough money in the bank to pay all you bills for at least 1 year.

***Call several established Arizona Certified Inspectors, {pick our brains } and ask all the questions you can.

*** Don't try to cut costs on Professional Home Inspection training, good training from established home inspectors will cost a few dollars more in the beginning, the return for that additional expense will be 10 fold.

*** Wait till after you completed all your training, and received your Arizona State Certification before paying for additional Home Inspector Certifications.
