New Jersey Lowers the Bar a Long Way

This February 14th article in the Courier Postal Online explains changes to New Jersey's licensing law that have reduced what was once considered to be one of the best licensing laws in the country to a shadow of its former self.

I can tell you first hand that it has driven down the price of inspections. This may be a result of "more" inspectors or just that home sales have slowed down a lot and new inspectors are scrambling to stay afloat.

The past 2 days I have lost 2 inspections; 1 was a four-plex with 3 bedrooms each unit, the guy said he got someone to do it for (under $500) half may price

The second was a vacant 3 bedroom (guy was gonna flip-it) POS, I lowered my price by $50.00, got the job, he called back 2 hrs later and said someone beat my price by $175.00.

It's become cut-throat; the consumer will be paying in the long run through.
