• Most inspections are exterior only and typically take 5–6 minutes.
• Complete the inspection within four days of assignment.
• Report general property conditions and determine occupancy based on industry standards.
• Take nine or more photographs of the property with brief comments.
• Complete a short form in a mobile application.
• Be prepared to spend extended periods driving and making numerous stops during the day in the assigned territory.

This is a 1099 (contract) position. Each inspection has a flat rate, varying by county and volume. Although paid per inspection, you can expect earnings equivalent to $30–$40 per hour. Depending on the county—urban or rural—you may complete anywhere from 20 to 500 inspections per month, working 2–30 hours per week. Lower volume counties have higher rates, while higher volume counties have lower rates.

Work is consistent month‑to‑month, with opportunities to earn more as you become established, increase availability, or cover larger territories.

No additional mileage reimbursement is provided beyond the flat fee per inspection.
