First things first, go to the website of American Society of Home Inspectors and list down the companies which offer such services where you reside. Check if they are also affiliated with either National Academy of Building Inspection Engineers (NABIE) or National Society of Professional Engineers (NSPE). If you found out that they are also in their list of members, then you have found the service company for your needs.

Secondly, make an appointment with them so you can discuss the cost of their services and how comprehensive the services will be. Their services should include the following: evaluation of the heating and cooling system, interior plumbing and electrical systems, roof, attic and its insulation, walls, ceiling, floors, windows, sliding, doors, foundation basement and other structural components. If they lack most of these components then better choose a different one.

Lastly, confirm if they will provide you a written report with a Licensed Professional Engineer stamp after the services. This is very much important because it will be your basis for pursuing the purchase of the house or not. A credible company gives written report to their clients as their final output otherwise better forget all about them and proceed to other home inspection services company.

Consider purchasing a franchise for a set price and being able to expand the franchise, and get paid 90% returns while in the process. After expanding the franchise you can now generate an additional 40% or more from your new affiliate. These types of programs are becoming more common. Some of the most profitable franchises can come at a hefty up front cost. With proper management and strong effort, the original expense can be earned back in a reasonable time period. Make sure the liabilities are not of high risk. Look for low risk affordable franchises that have a low investment, and little personal liabilities. An example of high liabilities would be franchises that serve liquor and perishable food products. Low risk would be franchises that have low overhead and high profitability.
