I agree with the previous reviewer that said this doesn’t have any how/what-to-inspect content, but I think the authors intent was to help those interested in starting their own business. I think the author assumes you have or know where to get experience/knowledge on home inspection. He even recommends some sites. This book really helped me get a feel for the business of home inspection and how/where to start. -

I bought a lot of books to learn how to do home inspections and become a pro home inspector for a new career. This book was one of the worst since the title makes you think you will learn about how to start and run a home inspector company. But the fact is that the concepts explained in the book can be applied to ANY business because they are so basic and general and have NO specific link to home inspector companies. The book is written by someone who definitely is NOT a home inspector and knows nothing about home inspections. Perhaps they know about starting a general type of business or company. The problem is that they just took general basic information and put it into a book that can be applied to anything and has no relevance to home inspectors. You could change the title and put any type of business on the title and you would not have to change the text inside and you would see the simple ideas in the book do NOT help you out. I do NOT think this is the right choice for anyone looking to be an inspector or start an inspection business. There are other books on Amazon that are far better than this one!! -

If you’re looking for real, useful information on starting a home inspection business, or becoming a better home inspector this book won’t help you much. It doesn’t take long before you realize the person writing this is not a home inspector. Mostly filler, with very little content. The “how to start your own business” tips can be applied to ANY business & are very basic. I got so frustrated with the lack of information I just stopped reading it 2/3 of the way thru. -

Buying and reading this book was a mistake. The author is obviously just a book writer and knows nothing about the home inspection service! That was clearly evident since I am a home inspector and there was nothing any novice inspector could learn from this book that they wouldn’t already know. If you want to learn about home inspections then you have to buy a book written by an expert in that field – a home inpsector with many years of experience – not an author that writes books on random topics! There are other books that are far superior to this book. My recommendation is don’t buy this, spend your money on another book. - Comment Feed for this Post

Don’t think that by reading this book that you will close the last page go out there and start inspecting homes.
YOu need alot more information and you will need to read alot more books and do some proper training. However the book is an interesting read and you will get a few ideas on what you should do. it advises to get some interpersonal skills if you do not already have them. So I went and bought a few books on that, and it cost me over €30. But Im pretty sure it will help.
The book explains the different types of reports and abit about marketing, actually it flirts with all the aspects but does no get too deep.
Overall, its worth a read but just don’t bank on starting up when you put it down.
