Inspect home for my daughter

[James Hodgson]

I'm a Wisconsin licensed inspector. My daughter is purchasing a home in Minnesota. Is there any reason I could not inspect her house?

[Jeffrey R. Jonas]

Depends... what city/town will she be purchasing in?

I guess if you were a crummy dad you wouldn't want to...

Why Jeff?

Of course if it's South of the Twin cities he should have Jeff inspect it.

If if it's in the East Metro I should do it.

Sooo, It's true, every forum has a comedian. I understand that Wisconsin inspectors are the cream of the crop.

Jeff, Don't worry it is hundreds of miles from your home base.

Although Minnesota does not require a license, many cities I have run across, are now requiring a business license if primary area served, or, a transient (business) license/permit if not normally served. (And yes, in my small world, the competition is so fierce, that old timers are ratting out the newbies and fly-by-niters). I also believe that the Twin Cities have required licenses for certain types of inspections. I assume you know more about that, as you probably serve the cities, where I normally do not. Thus my reply, as he may need a transient license/permit, if in one of those cities/towns.

Yes, several communities require separate licenses for Truth in Housing Inspections which is the responsibility of the seller for disclosure to the buyer.

I do not offer this service.

What, me worry?

I drive state wide for inspections... I've done many inspections in the backyards of fellow Nachi members 100+ miles away.

Business is business!

Funny thing though... I don't recall ever doing an inspection in Minneapolis/St. Paul proper city limits. I'm West and North quite often.

Come on Jeff, Wisconsin is the dairy state so of course it's cream that rises to the top.

Due to it's high fat content

Besides, everyone knows that it's California that has the "Happy Cows"
