How to Start, Run, and Grow a Home Inspection Business: The A-Z Guidebook for New Entrepreneurs -Includes 50 States plus Washington DC Licensing Requirements

This is a good -overview- if -considering- the business. If you've already started your processes then this likely wouldn't add much. This would not be for those already (and firmly) established.

It’s best to start off by saying that Jack Freeman did write an entire book with equal parts substantial, detailed, and useful information on what it means to start and run your own home inspection business with success and continuous growth.However, the real brilliance he displays is his immediate aim shown in the very beginning of this book: to first ground readers in reality by somewhat challenging them before reading onward--albeit not in a belittling or otherwise offensive manner—to see if even a career of a home inspector is the right path for them, let alone even having ideas for their own home inspection business venture.The most crucial factors Freeman uses to challenge readers are: if they truly have enough common sense and work ethic, both of which are essential for this occupation that is mostly learned on the job under the guidance of a seasoned home inspector; if they have a keen eye for noticing even the smallest of both the interior and exterior flaws of a home in addition to the know-how and desire to properly repair these flaws; if they have the patience and other resources in putting themselves through actual required home inspection and business education, and finally if they have what it takes overall to not merely survive but also thrive in this line of work by listing the pros and cons in good detail, and also specifying other required work and personality traits that will surely keep the home inspection industry flourishing and keep customers using a certain business again and again for all their home inspection needs.There is a definite lack of detail, grounding, and wealth of useful information from most of today’s how-to books. However, readers don’t have to worry about missing out on any of these essential components, especially because Freeman gives very detailed, step-by-step instructions on how to get this business going and to keep it intact, from graphic design skills to money-saving skills and much more.However, there is only one minor factor that may appear too obvious to any reader: Some of the business skill requirements Freeman explains don’t apply to just home inspection—they can also be useful for starting any type of business, as almost everyone knows already.Another way he keeps the readers in their own realities is by listing very specific business and home inspection requirements for every state in the country (Washington DC included), to see if they have the patience, resources, and whatever it takes to complete each and every listed requirement for whatever state they reside in.

I do suggest that you read the entire book, not just these big points. There will surely be ideas and situations that you have not even thought of, discussed in the book.The author also guides the reader through just what is inspected, where to receive training, whether you should open a franchise or your own business.

I highly recommend it, if you are that person.
