hausdok Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hi All, I participate on a few other discussion boards besides TIJ and yesterday I saw a post that I feel is kind of emblematic of what's going on in the profession right now. I think it's some food for thought and I've got the poster's permission to re-post it here. I've removed identifying information from it. ONE TEAM - ONE FIGHT!!! Mike ---------------------------------------------- Gentlemen and Ladies, After the cost of continuing education, state license fees and insurance & corporation accounting fees I have netted just $180 during this calender year. I love doing inspections; but financially this endeavor is not viable; and the future looks doubtful. As of November 30th, my license will expire. I would formally like to thank everyone who responded to any of my posts on this forum; they were ALL helpful to me! A special thanks to those of you who e-mailed me off-list with additional insights. All of you helped mentor me into the business. I truly wish you all the best of luck with one less competitor.

Bain Posted November 13, 2008 Report Share Posted November 13, 2008 Maybe the guy should check with Hank Paulson to see if a bail-out package is available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erby Posted November 14, 2008 Report Share Posted November 14, 2008 Went to the state home inspector board meeting today. Another eleven of the 400 failed to renew this month. Since licensing started a couple of years ago they've issued about 480 licenses. Only about 380 are active now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
