Becoming a Home Inspector?(should I bother)

Hello Folks,

Background: I have very little real estate experience. I'm looking to start investing in single family houses in my local area. I have a decent amount of remodeling and building experience. 

I've been toying with the idea of becoming a home inspector. I don't really need the extra cash (well i wouldn't mind it) and already have a full time job, but i like the idea of being able to do my own inspections and know exactly what to look for when rental shopping. I also fill like it will give me the opportunity to look at a lot of properties and see how they are valued.

Has anyone done anything like this before?

Is it worth it?

How hard is it to become a home inspector?

other advice?
