How long does it take to do an inspection? I've read it takes somewhere around 3 hours for a new or relatively new house is that about right? Also, do you work 7 days a week or fewer than that? Is $300 per inspection about what you charge? How much time do you spend writing a report and doing your book keeping? Rule of thumb that I use is time spent doing the work is burdened with about extra time, I assume 30% paper work and book keeping on top of time on task when lining out a job. Is that about right for you?
An inspection averages 2 hours. I work whenever a job is scheduled. $300 is about the minumum I charge. The last inspection was $400, the next one is $370. The report is mostly written on site so maybe 1/2 hour to an hour to finish it off. There is almost no bookkeping. I take appointments, do the job, get paid on site and go home.

You are putting waaayyyyy too much effort/thought process into this, dude....he's a 30-year-old red state nazi that lives in a small apartment and subsists on fast food and various forms of public assistance. He recently pawned his Playstation in a desperate attempt to raise his $600 monthly rent...
While his stated age does vary depending on his dementia, I read he's something around 50-55, single, has a bad back, has a gun in the closet, lies about his income and lives in CA or AZ. That said, yes, he's totally a waste of time. Which pretty much describes my time here. I'm just here for entertainment anyway.

Are you claiming that you do 16 inspections a week?

He meant to say that he smokes 16 cigs per hour and that he's got every season of 'Full House' on DVD.

Really, though, he's 50+? He mentioned (avatar pic) 'Home Alone' being a "good movie", so I was giving him the benefit of the doubt and assuming him to be a 90s kid.
If he is 50+, shit just got a lot creeeeeeepier....
(Shudder of disgust)

He does not need to answer, his post shows he could get only one inspection today at best, Yesterday was a big fat ZERO.
Guy might have to get another loan.
Alot of people telling me that this guy gets a loan for living expenses instead of getting a loan for his business and writing off the interest.

There's wisdom there folks...

I am claiming what I am claiming.

Last month was a record month. This month could be bigger.

I said it was possible for me to make 288K per year (based on time slots) and for 2 weeks you have been assuming that I make that and studiously trying to prove me wrong when I did not say that was what I made. Seriously, get a girlfriend....

You will never make 288k a year as a Home Inspector. I give you 65k tops...and that's being generous. Get a second gig.
