Mortgage lenders require periodic updates on their properties. The purpose of the inspection is to verify property occupancy, report on the general condition of the property using a mobile application, and, in some cases, to take interior photos after the property has gone vacant. Most inspections are exterior only, with about 10% requiring interior photographs.

• Most common type of inspection takes 5-6 minutes.
• Complete the inspection within 4 days after it is assigned.
• Report general property conditions and determine occupancy based on industry standards.
• Take 9+ photos of the property with brief comments.
• Complete a short form in an app.
• Spend extended periods of time driving while making numerous stops during the day in the assigned territory.

• Computer with an internet connection.
• Reliable vehicle (good gas mileage is a plus as you will be paying for your own gas).
• Smartphone (Android or iPhone).
• Printer.
• Pass a standard background check using a valid driver's license.

This is a 1099 position. Each inspection has a flat rate that varies based on county and volume. Although you are paid per inspection, you can earn the equivalent of $30‑$40 per hour. Depending on the county and whether it is urban or rural, you will complete anywhere from 20–500 inspections per month, working 2–30 hours per week. Lower volume counties have higher rates and higher volume counties have lower rates.

There is no set amount of inspections per month, but the work is consistent month‑to‑month. Earn more as you become established, have greater availability to inspect, or are willing to cover a larger territory.

No additional mileage reimbursement above the flat fee per inspection.
