This course will make you smarter—but it won’t make you a licensed home inspector, electrician, plumber, or structural engineer. You are not certified to perform professional inspections just because you watched this course.


What you’ll learn here is powerful. It’ll help you ask the right questions, spot red flags, and avoid costly surprises. But it’s not a replacement for a full inspection by a qualified, licensed professional. You’re responsible for following all local laws, building codes, and regulations when making real estate decisions.


Bottom line:


  • Don’t skip a professional inspection.
  • Don’t do electrical or plumbing work unless you’re qualified.



We’ve done our best to make this course accurate, practical, and up to date—but the real world changes fast. Use your judgment. Do your homework. And when in doubt, call in a pro.



What You’ll Walk Away 🧠🔧 With:

  • Identify structural and surface-level issues in driveways, roofs, siding, and foundations with confidence.

  • Evaluate roof health by recognizing signs like blistering, curling, cracking, and granule loss.

  • Diagnose exterior drainage problems through grading analysis, gutter inspection, and downspout assessment.

  • Spot common window, door, and siding deficiencies that lead to energy loss and water intrusion.

  • Inspect plumbing systems, including DWV setups, for signs of blockages, poor venting, and leaks.

  • Troubleshoot furnace, water heater, and electrical malfunctions using symptom-based diagnosis.

  • Understand how a home is built from the ground up, including framing, utilities, and finishing stages.

  • Recognize early warning signs of interior damage, such as ceiling stains, cracked walls, and warped floors.

  • Apply seasonal and year-round maintenance techniques to protect all major home systems.

  • Use downloadable tools and checklists to perform thorough inspections and track repairs over time.
