Product 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.



Customer Reviews
Average Rating:  out of 5 stars

Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Interesting but you still need to do alot more
Don't think that by reading this book that you will close the last page go out there and start inspecting homes.
YOu need alot more information and you will need to read alot more books and do some proper training. However the book is an interesting read and you will get a few ideas on what you should do. it advises to get some interpersonal skills if you do not already have them. So I went and bought a few books on that, and it cost me over €30. But Im pretty sure it will help.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - A Good Very General Introduction to the Business
This is one book you should read before you go into business for yourself. It is not "THE" book on the subject. Instead, it is a general overview of how to start a business of your own, and only incidentally uses the idea of a home inspection service as the business to start.

Before starting your own Home Inspection Service, you do need to know about a lot of things such as licenses, legal aspects, record keeping, setting up an office, and this is all here. The description of most of ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - NO help for starting an inpsection business!!
I bought a lot of books to learn how to do home inspections and become a pro home inspector for a new career. This book was one of the worst since the title makes you think you will learn about how to start and run a home inspector company. But the fact is that the concepts explained in the book can be applied to ANY business because they are so basic and general and have NO specific link to home inspector companies. The book is written by someone who definitely is NOT a home inspector and knows nothing ... Read More



Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - There are better books out there
If you're looking for real, useful information on starting a home inspection business, or becoming a better home inspector this book won't help you much. It doesn't take long before you realize the person writing this is not a home inspector. Mostly filler, with very little content. The "how to start your own business" tips can be applied to ANY business & are very basic. I got so frustrated with the lack of information I just stopped reading it 2/3 of the way thru.



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - Good for those starting inspection business
I agree with the previous reviewer that said this doesn't have any how/what-to-inspect content, but I think the authors intent was to help those interested in starting their own business. I think the author assumes you have or know where to get experience/knowledge on home inspection. He even recommends some sites. This book really helped me get a feel for the business of home inspection and how/where to start.
