Home Inspection License

[Brian Callan]

I am hoping someone has some experience with gaining a home inspector license.  We are getting slow at my work and I will have a lot of free time so I was thinking about getting licensed an doing some inspections here and there for extra cash for future investments.  

1) I think it will be great experience and education.  It will help with my ability to avoid money pits when doing future investments as well.

2)  This is a great way to build some extra cash fairly quickly to improve my portfolio.

So what are the steps I need to take?  From my research, I have found 3 major organizations that do the courses and preps for exams.  I am in Alabama so we do require a state exam.  Which organization is the most used and most reputable?  I can't find any reliable information online about it.  

Thanks in advance for your help!
