Is it worth taking home inspector classes?

[Orie Brown]

Hey everybody, I was wondering what people's thoughts were on taking some appraisal classes to help give better insight on REI projects you are looking at instead of hiring a home inspector every time. My thoughts were that it could be beneficial because depending on your area it can take a week or two up to a couple of weeks to get a home inspector out to inspect a property that I might be interested in purchasing. Any thoughts or insight on personal experience or what you think about it is appreciated. -Thanks
