Home Inspection
is one of the
FASTEST GROWING
Business Opportunities in North America

For Most of us, buying a home is the biggest investment we will make in our lifetime.

Home buyers are using home inspectors more and more. There's good reason for the growth in the home inspection industry

- For Most of us, buying a home is the biggest investment we will make in our lifetime and we need to be sure that the investment is a good one

- The cost of housing is at an all time high. Home buyers are faced with huge mortgages. They can't afford to be hit with huge repair bills after they move into a house.

- Flipping of houses has become a national pastime for builder wannabe's. Flipping is often done by amateurs. Home buyers are paying a high price for their inferior workmanship and cheap materials.

- Home construction quality is in crisis. construction quality sank to an all time low during the last half of 1970's and all through the 1980's. It isn't much better today. Builders routinely build to "Code minimums". They use the cheapest possible materials and workmanship standards are not much better today than during the 1980's.

There is growing concern among consumers that they might not get what they think they are paying for. Real estate agents almost universally recommend to buyers that they have the home inspected before committing to the purchase. Regardless of whether home sales are up or sales are down, home inspections are on the rise. Some communities have either passed laws requiring home inspections (such as Toledo, Ohio where we have offices) or are considering such laws. Many insurance companies and lenders now require home inspections.

Home Inspection is Still a Ground Floor Opportunity!

Individual One-on-One Guidance

A feature that separates this course from any other self-study courses you will find is the Individual One-on-One Guidance. Some candidates will jump right in and study completely on their own but most will need a little help and guidance. The course includes up to approximately 4 hours of individual, one-on-one telephone support and guidance by your personal instructor and guidance counselor. There is no set time limit. Each candidate is different.

Your support doesn't end when you earn your certification. You may find that going out into the field to do your first inspections is when you most want - and need - someone to turn to for help. Send your reports to your instructor before you send them to your clients. Your instructor will review your reports and make suggestions for improvements if any are needed. Take lots of pictures on your inspections. When you see something that you don't understand, you can send your pictures to your instructor for an opinion.

With a BestInspectors.Net self-study home inspection course, you will get all the benefits that you would normally expect from a classroom based course plus much more.
