Home inspector route
Looking for the best way for me to get into the real estate game from my current perfession. After talking to a few people, I am contemplating the idea of getting into home inspections as a career path. Seems like a great way to make a living while networking and still be able to grow my own real estate investment portfolio. With that being said, i have zero experience.
I live in West Michigan and have reached out to a local inspector for advice referred to by an agent friend, but haven't heard back yet. There are online training courses, which are appealing because i work a 9-5ish gig and can't up and quit to persue the idea of a new career. Anybody out there know a good route or place for more info?
