I have no idea, I live in Tennessee.
At the moment things are slow where I am in Louisiana and I want to relocate to NE Florida. I believe I have to have completed about 260 inspections before I can be considered for the 5 day training in DC and I am about half way there.
You believe an inspector can make a decent living doing these then, perhaps along with other types of inspections, correct? I am trying to get a feel for earnings expectations.
It all depends on how many inspections you can do and what your overhead cost are going to be.
I have no idea, I have never taken their test. Having seen a few folks that are doing REACT inspections, I would not think that the testing would be that difficult if you pay attention in the class.
Personally I would concentrate on basic home inspections. Work on building up your name in your community. You will make a great deal more doing basic home inspections and you will have less headaches.
