Become and inspector while investing in Ohio?

[Matt Kitchen]

I am from Ohio and plan on investing in my first Multifamily within the next year. I have found that in Ohio, inspections can cost between 300 and 600 dollars. After doing some research, I found that I may be able to become certified in residential inspection for under a grand. Has anyone tried to become an inspector as an investor and what was your experience like?

@Matt Kitchen are you experienced in building trades? Having an inspector license doesnt mean you know what you're doing, it just means that you can charge to do it. No offense intended but if you still need to hire an inspector to view properties that you've offered on, you are a long way from being a competent inspector, and a class isnt going to get you there.
