Independent Contractor Field Inspector
FAR Inspections is actively seeking a reliable independent contractor to perform residential mortgage inspections in Polk County, Texas and surrounding communities. If you live in or near West Livingston or anywhere in Polk County, this is a great opportunity to earn supplemental or full-time income on your own schedule.
FAR Inspections is a leading provider of property data for mortgage lenders nationwide. Based in Reno, NV, we have a 12-year track record of excellence and stability in the mortgage field services industry. We partner with highly motivated independent contractors who prioritize accuracy, reliability, and professional autonomy.
The Opportunity
Earn a predictable supplemental or full-time income on a flexible schedule that you control. As a Field Inspector covering Polk County, you will perform residential occupancy verifications. These are brief, exterior visits to confirm property status and report on general conditions.
- Autonomy: You manage your own routing, schedule, and territory.
- Efficiency: Standard inspections are designed for speed, typically requiring only 5–6 minutes on-site.
- Consistency: Enjoy stable, month-to-month volume in your assigned county.
Workflow & Responsibilities
- Determine property occupancy status based on industry-standard indicators.
- Capture 9+ photos and submit brief reports using industry-standard mobile applications.
- Maintain a high level of reliability regarding territory coverage and deadlines.
Note: This role requires spending extended periods of time driving and making numerous stops throughout the day in your assigned territory. This territory includes a mix of suburban neighborhoods and rural stretches, offering variety in your daily route and a balance of quick stops and scenic drives.
Requirements
As an independent contractor, you are responsible for providing your own equipment, including:
- Reliable, fuel-efficient vehicle.
- Smartphone (Android or iPhone) capable of running mobile reporting apps.
- Computer with an internet connection and a printer.
- Strong time-management skills to meet deadlines without direct supervision.
- Ability to pass a standard background check.
Earnings & Volume
- Flat-Rate Pay: This is a 1099 position where you are paid a set fee for every inspection completed.
- Earning Potential: While pay is per-inspection, efficient contractors typically earn the equivalent of $25–$35 per hour.
- Volume: Rates and inspection volume vary by county. Lower volume counties typically feature higher per-inspection rates, while higher volume counties offer more consistent daily work.
- This Territory: Polk County averages approximately 25 inspections per month.
