Is there demand for more home inspectors?

[Rich Bultema]

I have a friend who cannot continue working in their current industry who has expressed interest in becoming a home inspector. He asked me if there was demand for more inspectors but I thought you agents would be able to answer it better than me as an investor. I know a lot transactions involve an inspector but that says nothing about how flooded the market is with them already?

Do you guys and gals think there is room for more inspectors? Is it something that can produce an ok annual income? or is it more of a side gig?

This is all assuming that "current events in the news" will eventually return to some kind of normal.

Edit: PS he is in the northern/northwestern Indiana area
