I saw this on Craigslist in the States- costs about $1k the first year to get this home inspector training - legit or nah?

NACHI online training is free.

This one wants $200 up front and $55 /month

and this is what you get for almost $1K in overhead the first year

Here is the link I reached through Craigslist in a random city: +++++++++++++++++++

Training Home Inspectors Across America After reviewing the following information submit application for consideration.

To become a successful Home Inspector you must have a construction/trades background. You must have people skills. You must be business minded and want to build a long term stable career.

Once you are properly certified and trained you could be doing inspections part time to start. An average inspection pays $475

(Example: 3 inspections a week part time would be $1425 (theoretical example and results will be based on your effort)

You will be a 1099 independent contractor with flexibility and unlimited earning potential.. (flexible hours, unlimited income potential, tax benefits)

Completing home inspections may lead to future remodels, home additions and/or modernization in your field of expertise. (**depends on state regulations)
