Be sure to check out our recommended tools in our Amazon store:
The minimum tools you will need include:

• high-quality respirators
• good flashlight
• camera
• moisture meter
• outlet tester
• minimal hand tools (screwdrivers, nut drivers, etc.)
• ladder
• safety gear, (eye protection, gloves, shin guards, jumpsuit)
• computer/software
• vehicle (think gas mileage)
  During a particularly busy month, I spent $750 solely on fuel while using my original gas-hog van for inspections. However, when I switched to a more fuel-efficient vehicle and doubled my gas mileage, the savings covered the cost of the newer van. Consider the benefits of an efficient vehicle.

Other nice-to-have tools include:

1. thermal camera (I like the Flir line of cameras)
2. drone (DJI makes great drones)
3. electrical multimeter (you can’t go wrong with an entry-level Fluke meter)

I would consider buying these later, but I love all of these tools.

While most inspectors work for themselves, there are opportunities to work with multi-inspector firms and franchises. Be sure to read any offer to work for another company very carefully. We recommend you have this offer reviewed by an attorney.

HUD
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development has several kinds of inspections. See the link above.

Sewer Scopes
This can be a lucrative business to run along with home inspections. It is an easy sell, I tell my clients that their sewer “is the most expensive thing I can’t see”.

Energy Audit
An energy audit is an inspection survey and an analysis of energy flows for energy conservation in a building. It may include a process or system to reduce the amount of energy input into the system without negatively affecting the output.
A home energy audit helps individual homeowners find out their residential consumption and energy flow. An audit is useful to determine areas of your home where there is energy loss and by identifying where power usage may be curbed to earn savings.
