my 2.5 Cents (adjusted for inflation)

Its kinda like becoming a bricklayer if you want to build homes.  or a Chef if you want to own a restaurant.  it will keep you working IN your business, not really on it. If your goal long terms is to become an investor, then you will find focusing on investor skills, will help you become an investor rather than an inspector. to be honest, Never had any inspector training, but after buying a house you learn what you need to pretty quick.  I would rather pay someone the 200 bucks EVERY DAY rather than do that myself. its not useful to use my time like that.   MUCH better use of my time. is networking, raising capital, closing deals, etc.   Focus on investor skills, not Inspector skills. :)
