Hello, I am a 19 year old full time college student who currently does turnover inspections for a property management company. These inspections are pretty superficial, taking only about 1hr and make about $85. As I want to increase my income in order to buy my first investment property, I have thought of becoming a licensed inspector. While I do know being an inspector is not what I want to do as a career, I was thinking during my next 3 years in college I could work weekends and summers in order to boost revenue. Is this a feasible idea? I know there is an initial investment of time and money so I was just seeking advice as to see if this was a smart plan, or if I am better off seeking opportunities elsewhere.

I think that's a solid plan to start. You should be able to get with an inspection company that can accommodate your schedule. You can learn and see items which would help when you are done with college.
