What is an Occupancy Verification?

Most inspections are exterior only. About 10% require interior photos after the property has gone vacant.

Responsibilities

• Most common type of inspection should only take 5–6 minutes
• Complete the inspection within 4 days after it is assigned
• Report general property conditions and make a determination of occupancy based on industry standards
• Take 9+ photos of the property with brief comments
• Complete a short form in an app
• Requires being able to spend extended periods of time driving while making numerous stops during the day in the assigned territory

Requirements

Pay and Hours

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 will earn the equivalent of $20–$30 per hour.

Depending on a 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.
