Home Inspector Income
In the U.S., according to government statistics, the average Home Inspector paycheck is about $46,000 a year. Most home inspector's income is actually probably higher because there are quite a few home inspectors who purposefully only want to work part-time and there are others who are just building up their businesses to full-time. Actual earnings from inspections could also be higher because some of the income from inspections can typically be considered profit to the LLC or S Corporation and pass-through to the owner (you) without having to be treated as salary or wages.
Of course, the more home inspections you do, the higher your income. But, as you can see, even a part-time home inspector can do quite well. It doesn't take much calculating to see that the cost of the training, etc of becoming a Home Inspector is relatively small compared with the potential rewards of doing home inspections, even part-time.
The government lists home inspectors as a different occupation than building inspector. Building/Construction inspectors' average annual salary is about $62,000 a year. These inspectors are typically full-time employees of a municipality, have to work a set schedule, and do not receive any pass-through income from an LLC or S Corporation.
