I am interested in becoming a Home Inspector. I am new to REI and looking to grow my portfolio but in the meantime I want a job that will help me in my REI journey as well as provide some income. Anyone know anything about this position/industry? I don't know much about it so anything is helpful! Thank you!

    that is a very good idea since that will give you perhaps the best tool to be able to determine if a property is in good condition or if it is a good investment, it also helps you understand the contractor when they speak in terms of construction, but you must know what type You want to be an inspector, a home inspector like the one you call when buying a house who takes maybe a course of one to two months or a building inspector who is deeper in the process and normally deals with commercial and residential matters and takes years before being able to say that they are building inspectors, whatever they are I congratulate you on your plan and I wish you the best of luck

     Thank you! I want to be a home inspector! I really do think it will help in my investing journey. I just want to chat with some people who are already home inspectors and get a feel for how things work before I commit to the courses and fees of getting a license. Thanks for your support and encouragement though, it means a lot!

    I'm a home inspector and would be happy to answer any questions you may have. Each state is different when it comes to getting licensed and requirements for insurance etc. InterNACHI is one of the the two national associations that most states require membership to. InterNACHI's website is full of useful and great content when it comes to finding out state requirements and getting educated. Feel free to shot me a message with any questions or you can give me a call 406-600-1817.
