Jack,

Do you have an IR camera? I feel the IR camera is key to success for new inspectors as well as existing inspectors. The $9,000+- for the camera and certification is well worth the investment. Once you are certified to use the camera the learning curve is short. The camera also allows you to offer services that are not related to the real estate market. The potential for business with an IR camera will only increase in the future.

Getting started in this business is not cheap like many think. If you are not willing to invest a substantial amount of money then you should not get in the business, especially now.

Jerry, I also would answer questions in a private email.

My two cents again.
