Mortgage lenders require periodic updates on their properties and send out independent contractors to carry out the inspections. The purpose of the property inspection is:

• To verify property occupancy.
• To report on the general condition of the property using a mobile application.

Most inspections are exterior only; about 10% require interior photos after the property has gone vacant. We contract with inspectors at a county level, meaning you would be responsible for completing all inspections in your county, or sharing a county with another inspector if volume justifies.

• Complete most inspections in 5‑6 minutes.
• Submit the inspection within 4 days of 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 a mobile app.
• Be able to spend extended periods driving during the day in the assigned territory.

• Computer with internet connection.
• Reliable vehicle (paying own gas; good mileage is a plus).
• 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. Although paid per inspection, you can expect to earn the equivalent of $30‑$40 per hour
.

Depending on county and if it is urban or rural, you may complete anywhere from 20‑500 inspections a month, working 2‑30 hours per week. Lower volume counties have higher rates, and higher volume counties have lower rates. There is no set minimum 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.
