Mortgage Field Services Inspector

Barricade Inspections is seeking motivated independent contractors to perform residential occupancy verifications on behalf of mortgage lenders. The work is flexible, remote to a county‑wide territory, and pays each inspection a flat rate that can equate to roughly $30–$40 per hour. Applicants need a reliable vehicle, a computer with internet, a smartphone, a printer, and a valid driver’s license for a standard background check.

The primary goal of each inspection is to confirm that the property is occupied and to report the general condition of the property via a mobile application. Most inspections are exterior only, though approximately 10% may require interior photographs if the property has gone vacant.

• Complete each inspection within 4 days of assignment.
• Spend 5–6 minutes at most per inspection, taking 9+ photos with brief comments.
• Complete a short form in the provided app.
• Make a determination of occupancy based on industry standards.
• Drive within the assigned territory to complete all inspections for that county, sometimes sharing the county with another inspector if volume warrants it.

• Computer with an internet connection.
• Reliable vehicle (good gas mileage is a plus; you pay your own gas).
• Smartphone (Android or iPhone).
• Printer.
• Pass a standard background check using a valid driver’s license.

This is a 1099 position. Rates vary by county and volume—higher rates in lower‑volume counties, lower rates in higher‑volume counties. Work ranges from 20 to 500 inspections per month, equating to about 2–30 hours per week, with no guaranteed minimum volume. Earnings increase with experience, availability, and willingness to cover larger territories. No mileage reimbursement above the flat fee per inspection.
