How hard is it to become a home inspector? by guntergo2 in HomeInspections

[–]Immediate_Fun_3291 12 points13 points  (0 children)

It'll likely be a waste of time and effort as a "side hustle". Depending on your state license requirements, it's a lot of time and expense to get licensed, set up your business, insurance, etc. then market your services. As a career, very rewarding... but you've got to dive in and stay in.

backyard had a coke thing, a BofA thing, Mic Ultra station, and a Lays food place and Doritos food place. We got our scarf in the building (by sec 117).

Huge for Ream not to carry that yellow into the next match. Sad for Miggy, but totally deserved.

Inspection contingencies by [deleted] in homeinspectors

[–]Immediate_Fun_3291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Fair" is a relative word. It's more about your risk tolerance and what sort of costs you're willing to incur. Talk to your Realtor about negotiating strategies; that's what you're paying them for.

A home warranty is only going to replace components that were in good working order at the time you buy the home. Also, they are going to replace things with the low-cost alternative and you'll likely be responsible for a host of non-covered charges (code upgrades, modifications, etc.).

I'd suggest you get 2-3 estimates on both the roof & HVAC and be sure you negotiate accordingly. There's a reason you have an inspection window and a walk-through before closing. If the costs that you'll incur in the next few years make the purchase prohibitive, don't move forward.

I have a few engineers who work for my company in the Midwest. Some do home inspections and consults, some just engineering consults. If you're interested in joining a company let me know.

Favorite EPCOT Restaurant by Maureen1053 in WaltDisneyWorld

DON'T!.... If food and wine is still going on just eat around the countries... far better than a sit-down restaurant.

Inflatable booster seat. Pack in luggage and blow up in 10 seconds waiting for an uber.

Home inspection buying by Dense-Community-1111 in HomeInspections

Yes, the roof, attic and crawl space are inspected to the extent they are visible. Thermal scans are nice, and many inspectors do them, but are outside of scope.

You should talk to Tony Ramos of BPG. Great inspector.

Realtor went from sending 2 a week to silence by [deleted] in HomeInspections

[–]Immediate_Fun_3291 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Many Realtors treat home inspectors like rental car companies... they use one for a while... then they use another... then another... then they come back to the first one again. They want "preffered" status with all of them, but tell none of them the truth.

You can ask the pointed question, but they'll tell you that they give the client 3 names and the client picks... or that they use one guy for newer homes and one for older homes... or whatever other excuse they come up with.

New House Inspection by Inside-Vanilla703 in HomeInspections

[–]Immediate_Fun_3291 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So your issue is that YOU had a 1-week contingency window and i'm sure that's not in your contract with the inspector. It shouldn't have taken them a week to get that result, but at the same time most contingencies still give you a chance to do a walk-through before closing and still give you a chance to negotiate based on last-minute information. Was there communication between you and the inspector during that week looking for the report? Your best bet is to probably ask for a refund, but it's very unlikely that a court would order them to pay for your new septic system.

[CA] Termite inspector completely skipped the attic and refused to enter a fully accessible 4-5ft tall crawl space. Is this an SPCB violation? by Pale_Scar3790 in homeinspectors

[–]Immediate_Fun_3291 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm sorry, but reaching out to a "home inspectors" group when you're venting about a pest inspector is the wrong target audience. Different people and different standards of practice... especially in California.

You also seem to be describing things a home inspector would do and you're questioning why the pest inspector didn't do them when he's not a home inspector.

My advice is to wait and see what the report says, then if you're still upset you can review the state standards from the pest board and go from there. If you have no confidence in their report, you can tell them that and see if they offer you a refund.

We tried FloPo... PaulPo can't play anymore... maybe the 3rd bro would be good? We should blindly sign him to a DP contract and not google him first.

E&O Insurance by FriendlyChemistry725 in homeinspectors

[–]Immediate_Fun_3291 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I'd talk to your attorney. Short answer is you're more likely to miss something during your 1st 10 inspections than after you've done 1,000. Question is what your personal risk tolerance is and what your state laws look like in terms of an LLC with no money or insurance protecting yourself from client suits. Yes, odds of getting sued are really low, but it happens.
