Home Inspection Business Startup Guide
An honest read on whether a home inspection business is worth building in your market, centered on the one question that actually decides it: do local realtors have room for another name on their referral list? This 21-page guide walks through the free four-call test, licensing and insurance requirements, equipment costs, and a 90-day validation plan — plus a full working kit of templates to run the business once the gate clears.
