TOPIC: Looking for a ride-along in central Tennessee

Hello all,

My name is Richard Taylor. I am hoping to arrange a few ride-alongs in central Tennessee. I will be working in the Mt Juliet/Hermitage area. I have completed my required training and passed the state test. Aside from purchasing insurance, I am ready for licensing, but don't plan to do so until I feel comfortable in my ability to do a quality inspection.

I realize that I will need to travel some distance to meet with inspectors outside my area. Thanks in advance for your help, RT.

Hi Richard,

What other large cities are within an hour or two? I can check our database to see who is nearby.

I'm located in a suburb on the east side of Nashville, about 20 minutes from downtown. Cookeville, Columbia, Murfreesboro and Clarksville are within a couple of hours. Hendersonville, Bellevue and Franklin are about an hour away, but considered part of greater Nashville.

Visit the three national associations and see if any have a chapter near you. ? Most national home inspector associations encourage their members to offer ride-alongs.

Of course there is also a state wide association

We have quite a few inspectors in the MidTN ASHI chapter like Scott Patterson. There's also quite a few InterNACHI guys in Clarksville. Bruce is right, if you're in any of those you'll find someone! We'll see if anyone posts on here though.

Thanks guys,

I am a NACHI member. So, I'll send some emails to some local chapter members. I wouldn't mind a ride with Mr. Patterson though. I've read a lot of his posts around the web. He seems like a sharp fellow.
