How to Become a Building Inspector

[Michele Foreman]

I'm not sure if this is the right place to ask this question. My husband and I have bought several properties for our kids and he has always inspected them himself. He can point out things I would never see or even think about. When we bought our last investment property he pointed out things to the realtor about the property that she didn't know about. He would be great at inspecting buildings as a career but don't know how to get started with this. He has seen courses online for a few hundred dollars, but they don't tell you how to get hired as a building inspector after you complete the course. If anyone has this career can you please give some advice on how to get started? Thanks
