Good FAQ,
By A Customer
This review is from: 10 Most Common Questions Asked About Starting a Home Inspection Business (Paperback)
I thought the book was a good source of general information about the home inspection business. It performs as advertised. It gives you the basic information you need to find out what it takes to get in the business. I wish more books were written about other business opportunities that gave you a broad overview. I honestly didn't think it was "a giant advertisement for a certain Home Inspection School". It was well worth the price of $5.95.

This book is nothing but a giant advertisement for a certain Home Inspection School. In my opinion it was not worth reading.

Too cheesey,
By A Customer
This review is from: 10 Most Common Questions Asked About Starting a Home Inspection Business (Paperback)
Not much infomation of real value. Too much sales and promotion of other materials offered by this company. This booklet is a lost leader in hopes that the reader will realize how little information there really is and they should order videos.
