I guess it depends on if you want warranties or not and want a full blown contractor to run everything for you, however I've found people by going out to new construction sites in developments and talking to the head flatwork guy on a job, or find a crew on a commercial job site etc.  

We'll do interim construction loans, bridge loans, SBA 504 2nds, and various other loan types in the central Texas area.  

It's been about 2 month process so far.Chad, Gene's advice sounds solid, anything you can do to familiarize yourself with construction components and terminology will give you a better shot at becoming an inspector.  

About me, early 30's small landscape construction family business owner.

I come form a construction background and will be offering my money as well as my skills, tools, and energy.  

Our service includes MLS comps, construction estimates, fixed expenses and all info that you need to determine your maximum offer. 

I can't say I miss living in a construction site! 

If you don't mind, can I ask who you used for construction and staging?

We (the homeowners) just won a lawsuit against the builder for construction defects.

The pro's that I would suggest for new construction I might not suggest you use as your handy man, etc.
