Home Inspection Success Book

Think you'd like to go full time with eBay? Wanna know how to really earn with it? This book can help! Read full independent review here.

Rating:

Level of Review: Researched, not worth the risk!

Overview: Book claiming to teach you how to make big money doing home inspections.

Product: They are selling a book, your product is the service

Cost: $39.95

Compensation: Varies with region and market. They make claims of high per hour dollar figures, but those don't mean much if you get little work, or if you have unknown business expenses to deduct from them.

Conclusion: This one made me very uneasy. The ad text was full of hype, and unreasonable claims. His testimonials were all made from people who were commenting before the strategy was even tried. They sound really good, but meant less than nothing since nobody said that the advice in the book actually WORKED (seems like with all that hype, if someone had actually SAID it, he would have put it in there!). In fact, the only indication of honesty that I can find on the site is that there are NOT any claims of satisfaction in having tried the program!

He claims you can do this with no training or experience, but the FACT is that in most states, to even DO this you must be licensed, and he makes no mention of any kind of licensing requirements. Home inspections are not something you can do without understanding construction, plumbing, electrical, and other Uniform Building Code issues. I am highly sceptical of his claims, and would not recommend that anyone purchase this unless they already have solid credentials for making it work, and even then I'd recommend caution. He has an affiliate program for selling the book, but I did not feel good enough about it to link to it, even if it could have made me some cash to do so!

Our Rating System:

No program is right for everyone. Even a rating of four or five does not indicate that you should dive in without some careful thought and consideration. Business is still risky. All reviews have the reasons for the rating clearly defined.

 - Information presented in program is accurate and factual concerning the potential of the program, program is based on sound business principles, and has good potential to provide stable income for individuals to whom the program is suitable.

 - Information is accurately presented, company focuses on selling product, but business is either more confusing, less predictable, or slightly higher risk for one of a number of reasons. Still considered a sound company and very acceptable risk.

 - Information may be confusing or misleading, company may have significant issues with program structure, support of product, or public perception and reputation. A rating of three does not mean you should not do it. It just means you need to be sure you are suited to overcoming the difficulties that the program has.

 - Information generally misleading, risk fairly high, many unanswered questions, business principles questionable, but still has some potential for actually working for some people.

 - Cannot declare that it is an outright scam, but potential for it to work is very low. Will have questionable business theory, bad reputation, excessive hype that is not backed up by common sense, or other aspects which indicate very high risk. Will always have multiple issues, not just one thing.

 - Outright Scam. Anything labeled this way is never worth any kind of risk.
