From our experience, we recommend a realistic approach to entering the inspection business part-time.  It is not possible to predict your income, but the following projections would be typical  of a new part-time professional inspector. 

The figure of $350 for each inspection is typical for Home Inspection Service. Fees, however, vary widely across the county.

First six months with 1 inspection/week at $350 ..................= $9,100

Second six months with 1.5 inspections/week at $350 ..................= $13,650

First Year potential part-time income (approx.) ..................= $22,750

Second Year with 2.5 inspections/week at $350 ..................= $45,500

Third Year with 5.0 inspections/week at $350 ..................= $91,000

Fourth Year with 10 inspections/week at $350 ..................= $182,000

Fifth Year with 15 inspections/week at $350 ..................= $273,000

Building this career is just like any other profession. The income projections for a new accountant, dentist, or attorney have a similar five-year growth curve. But unlike those professions, you can work the inspection career part-time. Some inspectors only schedule inspections for Saturdays so they can continue their current full-time job.
