One sage piece of advice is to realize that you will not become rich as a home inspector, but you can make a good living after you become established.

If you have a spouse that has a good paying full-time job and they have the benefits then this makes being a home inspector so much easier. Actually, this is true for just about anyone that is self employed.

I see that you are in Central Florida, you are in the middle of a bunch of other inspectors, so you need to set yourself apart from the "others". Find a special niche that makes you standout from the others.

First, get a million dollars...

Actually, in these times, if you want a million, you had better start with 2.
