Bach Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 So do most of you guys have no regrets being a home inspector? Is it a good business to be in? This job is so perfect for me but I'm still a little nervous, need some support from my fellow crawlspace crawlers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 I can honestly say I believe home inspection and I are perfectly suited to each other. As difficult as it has been at times, if I lost everything tomorrow I would start over again in this business (if I could). No question. Brian G.

David C. Argabright Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 Bach, Did Michigan just pass a law for licencing home inspectors? What are the requirments? A licencing law maight make it even more difficult to establish a decent business, or maintain the business if you are already in the business. Anyone have any information for Bach?

Les Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 No Michigan law yet, but two are pending. The inspection community in Michigan seems to be well represented in the process. The Michigan Association of Home Inspectors is a very active group in the process. Visit their web site at www.MichAHI.Org for more info. As for the question: I would not do anything else. I have fed my family, put kids through years and years of college, can pay my bills and have a decent car to drive. What else is there?

Bach Posted June 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 As far as I know there are no laws in Michigan yet, but if anyone has any info on if any are comming and what they may be PLEASE let me know, I guess nothing would happen until next year if anything is comming Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scottpat Posted June 24, 2005 Report Share Posted June 24, 2005 It is a great profession, but only if you work at becoming good at what you do. Education is the single most important part of becoming a home inspector. Then you need to have a spouse with a good job to support you while you grow your business or have enough tucked away to live on for about three years. From what I have seen the main reason that folks don't make it in this profession is the lack of income to support themselves, family and the business.
