Home Inspectors

How's it going BP world?

I have a short and sweet question that i'd like to ask. Does anyone here have a home inspectors license or certificate? I'm wondering if it would be a good idea to get one. Just another leg to stand on in the real estate world, right?

I don't have one - don't really want one.  In my experience, the really great inspectors are experienced former contractors or city inspectors - guys that have years and years of construction experience.  You can take a course and learn, then go through the process of getting "official", but in my opinion, unless you've got a background in construction you will always be at a disadvantage.
