I am Realtor in NJ, wants to be Home Inspector

[Raj G.]

Hi , I am a Realtor in NJ, and I am thinking to get my course/Certification for Home Inspection.

is it a good combination?

also I see Home inspection course is around $5k, so just wondering if somebody knows if I have some cheaper alternate?

I can learn by myself by watching youtubes videos and reading books, and can work undersome experience Inspector for some time for practical experience(40 hours are mandatory), but not sure if that is an option for me, or theory classes(140 hours) is also mandatory to take under some institution.

Thanks
