I’ve been doing the handyman thing for 35 years getting ready to become a home inspector are used to do that 15 years ago I should’ve never gave it up but now is the time to get into it with my background as a handyman I’m very familiar with home construction and I would say it’s a wise career move I’m getting older things are getting harder
I’m considering real estate or home inspection - due to working with my Dad on remodeling houses (he did everything!) and awful issues my husband and I have had with rental units. Interesting that there is a rental ready certification. If we rent (after this doozy 😅) I will be sure to ask if they have that inspection done & to see the report!
I'm working my way through the internachi certification process but I don't know if it would be better if I just got licensed and started working under somebody as an inspector while I finish the certification process.
Sure. But InterNACHI has everything you need as an independent operator of a home inspection business or as a valuable employee of a home inspection business. Check out www.nachi.org/simple.htm
i've been looking into this as well, but most firms will not hire newbies without certification. I simply costs them too much to take you on to train you.
@@kisbeth88 I've been asking inspectors and they say you have to have training no matter what. No schooling will properly prepare you for the job. Inspectors in my area are asking you to be internachi certified as well as complete internachis drone course and mold and radon courses. The bigger companies ask that you have completed 100 inspections on your own.
