If you’re thinking about joining a home inspection franchise, you’re probably asking:
“How fast can I actually launch this thing?”
At Inspections Over Coffee, we’ve seen people go from zero to revenue in as little as 60–90 days — and in some cases, slower ramps up to 6 months. But here’s the key: unlike many brick-and-mortar franchises, your timeline is driven by education, not construction.
You don’t need to build a store. You don’t need to wait on permits. You need to get trained, get licensed, and get your systems dialed in.
🧠 What You’ll Learn in the Video
Why Inspection Is “An Inch Deep, a Mile Wide”
You’ll learn roofing, HVAC, plumbing, insulation, and more
Then learn how to deliver that knowledge in a high-trust, advisory way
Add in: software training, real estate networking, and marketing
Step 1: Deliver an Excellent Inspection
Practice on friends’ homes, record mock inspections
Use our prebuilt templates and get direct feedback
Don’t market until you’re truly ready to serve
Licensing Is the Variable
38+ states require some form of license
Some are fast (Florida: 120 hours + test)
Some are complex (Arizona: 30 parallels + national exam)
Our system helps you prep for all requirements — but we can’t bypass state law
Day One Starts After Licensing
Once licensed and trained, you’re ready to earn
Our franchise system includes real-world walkthroughs, add-on training, and templates for pool, termite, mold, and more
Marketing Starts When You’re Ready
Don’t approach real estate agents until you can say “Yes” to jobs confidently
We equip you with the conversation scripts, CE class decks, and everything you need — but it only works once you can deliver
The FDD Timing Requirement
By law, you must receive our Franchise Disclosure Document (FDD) at least 14 days before you can sign
This protects you and gives you time to review everything
No pressure — just planning

Most people go from FDD to first inspection in about 90–180 days, depending on licensing, effort, and personal schedule.
