I am approaching 60 (and in great shape) and beginning to look at some
alternative ways to earn some income. Having owned quite a few homes
and built one, the thought of becoming a home inspector (NH, ME) has
crossed my mind. It seems like something I would enjoy as I like
looking at the underpinnings of a property and enjoy people in
general. I have a pretty good network of builders and realtors in my
area as well.

Anyway, like anything else, I'm sure there are some significant
downsides to it as well. If anybody does this for a living and can
offer some advice other then IHMHUMA. That would be great.

Thanks,

A few years ago you just needed a flashlight and some business cards
but these days states are starting to license HIs.
For good reason. Lots of blind crooks in the business.
