Thinking About Becoming a Builder

hello

I figure since I plan on reading all the books, I might as well take the exam. Plus I like the idea of having the option to pull permits on multiple houses, and being able to freely sell the houses once they are finished. It just seems like this will give me more freedom.

Since I don't plan on going over 2 stories anytime soon, so either Residential or Commercial will be more than enough. I plan on sitting for the General after the 3-4 yrs experience as a CB or CR. I will be calling DBPR monday to verify that my BS Mech Eng will allow me to sit for the exam.

My next task is to find all the study materials that I can. I was thinking about buying them 2nd hand.

1. Would say, the material from a 1995 or a 2004 course be completely outdated? I would imagine that outside of codes and osha- the course material is the same?

2. Anyone know where I can find the right material for the best price?

Sebastian
