Default Re: Do your own home inspection for $14.99.

I don't think it's such a scam. There are several HIs in my area with little to no experience in construction. What's the difference between a) hiring a guy who read a book or took a class and b) taking a class (via CD) yourself? Not much. I'm not saying my HI education wasn't helpful or informative, but 28+ years in home building, remodeling and inspecting is far more beneficial to my customers.

So I don't mind a little competition from CD/books teaching HOs how to DIY a HI. Wow, that's a lotta abbreviation/acronyms, huh?

Do your own home inspection for $14.99?

Somewhere, there is a used house salesman that is calling someone else with a checklist to see if they will do it for less.

Gerry thats pretty good. Here in California we'll also offer two for one and throw in a Brinks Home Security system and home protection plan... And BTW, the new buyer will no doubt need both after one of these CD home inspections.

I think this is for Home buyers to do their own inspections, I don't believe it is meant as a training tool for Home Inspectors.
