Home Inspection Business: Has anyone ever purchased one? Any Advice?

This is a professional services opportunity, with the specific positives and negative of that type of business, plus the part where every employee has to be licensed by the state (in most states, anyway), limiting employee availability.

If you've got great connections throughout the RE world in your geography, there's a good chance you could pick up enough business to make it work.

Of course, you'll need to be doing business in one of the states where RE is still exploding (Texas, Tenn, Florida are big here) for it to have enough oxygen to burn.

I am not purchasing, but attempting to start one.
