Description

Handy around the House? Turn that Talent into a Lucrative Business!

Home inspections have become standard for a large percentage of the seven million homes bought each year. This presents a huge market for professional inspectors. As a home inspector, you can earn $500 - $800 a day examining the interior and exterior of a home and giving potential home-buyers your professional, informed opinion.

Learn everything you need to know to get started in this booming field. Industry experts reveal their tips and advice on:

Current typical startup costs for low-end and high-end businesses.
Inspection equipment you'll need.
Whether to operate from home or an office.
How to keep records, manage your finances and stay ahead of your tax liability.
How to advertise and promote your business to find clients.
Market sectors you can't afford to overlook.

If you have construction experience or are simply handy around the house, a home inspection service is the business for you.

From the Preface
There really isn't a bad time to enter the business of home inspection. You'll be interested to know that some skilled and dedicated inspectors can make well into the three-figure category - emphasis, however, on the words "skilled" and "dedicated." It's these two qualities that will ultimately determine who will rise like cream to the top of this business and who won't.

And that's the focus of this book - to help you learn what you can do to establish a profitable service while cultivating a work ethic of personal excellence. It will be this attention to detail and commitment to quality that will set you apart from the rest of the pack. You will get to explore the nuts-and-bolts descriptions of how to start and run your business and to examine the qualities needed to be a top-notch home inspector with insightful personal anecdotes from the day-to-day lives of successful inspector entrepreneurs. Get ready, and this book will take you on an informative, motivational journey to what will hopefully become a prosperous, satisfying, and long-lasting career.

Happy Inspecting!
