Welcome to the HRES Inspection Network.
I
believe this is a great win-win opportunity for
inspectors. Participation in the HRES Inspection
network offers you the following:
One short and easy inspection—usually under 15 minutes—often under 5 minutes
Inspectors are well paid for the time involved— $100-$150
Little to no liability is involved for the inspector!
Let
me introduce myself and this opportunity. My name is Paul Hayman. I am
an engineer and a home inspector. My home inspection business was in SW
South Dakota where I built a three inspector, $250,000 per year
business within a rural area with a population base of about 100,000.
Several years ago, I started getting calls from banks asking if I would
provide engineering certificates for permanent foundations on
manufactured housing. All government guaranteed loans for manufactured
housing (VA, FHA, Rural Housing) require these certifications for all
new loans. The trend in the banking industry is that soon all loans,
including conventional, will require these certificates. They are
required for both new and used homes, as well as for refinancing loans.
Potentially, there are thousands of certificates needed every year in
each state. This is a very large potential market. Seeing this, I
decided last year to specialize in Engineering Certificates and market
them to as many states to which I can get my engineering license
transferred. I am currently licensed in over two dozen states. The
challenge, however, is how to collect the needed information. The
answer is to develop a network of home inspectors in each state trained
to do these inspections. By marketing to mortgage companies and banks
the ability to provide these certificates across the entire state, we
should be able to corner a large percentage of the potential market.
That is where you come in.
I’m looking for a reliable network of
inspectors to cover every state. There are multiple
opportunities for significant income in this network,
including (1) foundation certification inspections
that I provide you at $100 each; (2) foundation
certification inspections that you initiate through
your local contacts (I will train you how to do
this) at $150 each; (3) Re-inspections when recommended
upgrades have been completed at $100 each.
The home
inspection business follows the ups and downs of the housing industry.
This business is new, is needed and is in an exponential growth
curve. How much of your local market do you want?
