I recently enrolled in the online courses to become a Home Inspector. I have been in the REO industry for about 3 years now and wanted to branch out even further. My ultimate goal is start my own inspection business like most of you but I really want to get my feet wet first. Is there any companies that hire new inspectors or apprentice type programs. I really want to be sure I can provide the best service to my customers and have a good feel for everything before I jump straight into starting my own business. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Alan the best thing to remember . to educate your self on everything you possible can . Stay honest no matter how tough it gets . Do not low ball to get jobs . After obtaining the courses you need , get you License contact someone that has a good reputation and see if they need help . Most will turn you down because they are afraid of competition .But there is always that one that is confident with his or her business . Be up front with them that your planing being on your own in a year or what ever time frame your planning . Work hard , be early , be vigilant . If you do out on your own treat the people that help you get in the business with respect . Most Home inspectors try helping each other with opinions and information , Most of the time . It is a great industry . And Nachi is a great start
