Inspection Education & Training This is a general forum for inspectors to discuss their educational experience, and to ask questions of InterNACHI's Education Committee. This forum is dedicated to the memory of InterNACHI member and educator Gerry Beaumont. Gerry was an avid proponent of education for inspectors and will be sorely missed.

But it does matter "how long you have been in it"

Are you doing home inspections now, and how long have you been doing them? Or as your profile says "Bringing in the money to help support my next great idea... " For you, it may be time to move on to the next great idea

You're only 22 years old. I really don't think you know what you want to be when you grow up and enter the real world. You have no business plan, no start up capital, no experience, no formal training and no idea what you're doing. Sorry, but that's what I've gathererd so far from your inquiries here. Just dreaming.

WHOOPS!!!

You come into our home as a guest and then challenge one of our dues paying members .
This just might not leave others with a good impression of you.
Now if you are a smart as you say you are you should be able to look at many previous posts and get more information then you will know what to do with .
You see you are far from the first to ask these questions.
Almost every question you can think of has been asked many times .
You will see if you just read a little that NACHI has many great members who do not mind helping .
We do not get upset with giving the same answers over and over again .
But politeness and just a little bit humble will get you much further here then belittling one of our members .
We are one great big happy family and disagree with each other frequently .
So I repeat please be polite and except us as we are.

The wording in your poll is a problem. According to the $ amount I'm in one but I have to check another.
Next time don't editorialize the choices - just cold facts.



In the world view we are all important and our mere existence effects all life.
