Don't give those newbies that kind of credit.
When business is slow, they cut their prices back to a minimum to just grab a check. Most of them will fall through the cracks the first year of their business.
Anytime the business world starts cutting jobs, the home inspection industry seems to load up with newbies. If they only investigated the real estate market before they jumped in, they would maybe take up the "locksmith" or the "carpet cleaning" career also posted in those cheap commercials on the television.
I own a home, I could be a HI.
I've actually had people tell me that line while I'm on a job.
Don't get your blood pressure up about it. Let the waves wash them out.
