As a home inspector it is desirable or rather it is essential that you have some sort of experience in construction or structural related fields. If not, then before you try to become a home inspector or hire inspectors for you agency, it would be advisable to have some experience in the related fields.
As an entrepreneur you have several options of starting on your own. You can either start by being a franchisee of a reputed home inspection services or be on your own and start from fresh. Either of the two approaches are good as each has its pros and cons. While being a franchisee has a downside that you will have to share the profits, but yes you will hopefully get some training as well as you will pick some tricks of the trade. Apart from that you will still have to put in effort win clientele and also build substantial contacts to get referrals.
