Whatis an Occupancy Verification?
Mortgage lenders require periodic updates on their properties and send out independent contractors to verify occupancy. The purpose of the property inspection is to: verify property occupancy and report on its general condition using a mobile application. Most inspections are exterior only, with about 10% requiring interior photos after the property has gone vacant.
Responsibilities- Complete inspections within 4 days after assignment.
- 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.
- Drive extended periods while making numerous stops in the assigned territory.
- Most inspections take 5-6 minutes.
- Computer with an internet connection
- Reliable vehicle (good gas mileage is a plus; you will pay 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 by county and volume, earning the equivalent of $30‑$40 per hour. Depending on the county and whether it is urban or rural, you will complete anywhere from 20 to 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, and you can earn more as you become established, have greater availability, or cover a larger territory. No additional mileage reimbursement above the flat fee per inspection.
