Having been an investor in an inspection business (although it was a car one) one more thing I will say, one of the parts we found was more challenging, in addition to managing large workforces, is normally the client acquisition bit particularly if you don't control it, as this is a business where people buy houses on average every 8 years (US) and the odds that they know someone else buying a house at the same time are low, so word of mouth is hard to use to build momentum, you're dependent in the likes of google and partnerships with realtors, etc, which may disappear or you may get priced out very quickly. So to make it a truly sustainable business your client acquisition strategy needs to be spot on (like most businesses, but particularly relevant on this one) and you should have some sort of long term differentiation/angle vs the competition.
