Home inspectors are in high demand. Home buyers have realized just how
important a home inspection is in making their investment work.
For
most first time home buyers, purchasing a new home is, perhaps, the most
important investment they will ever make. Because of this, they are
adamant about not making decisions without first ensuring that the
decision is the right one. Home inspection is one of the only guarantees a
home buyer has that they have made a good choice.
Home inspection
is a job that requires good business sense. Not only that, it requires
specific technical skills and knowledge about construction. While some
people set up a home inspection franchise without first knowing the basics
of the job, the key to success is getting the necessary training and
education.
A good home inspection school covers the following:
*
Landscaping and grading
* Walls
* Foundations
* Roofs and
roof-mounted structures
* Lot improvements
* Windows
* Paved areas
*
Doors
* Wood-destroying insects
* Garages
* Interior construction
cover rooms
* Basements
* Attics
* Crawl spaces
* Utilities
*
Leakage
* Insulation
* Air conditioning
* Plumbing
* Heating
*
Electrical systems
* Troubleshooting
