Hello all,
My company completes residential home inspections for insurance companies. Most inspections consist of measuring the outside of the home, taking about 10 pictures and filling out a form with the information. There are more involved inspections (inside, high value homes etc.), but the inspector can choose. There is a great deal flexibility in the amount of work, location and timing.
We contract with independent contractors and pay them based (mainly) on the # of homes they inspect. Since the inspectors are contractors, there are no benefits, we do not pay mileage, nor provide an office or equipment. This would just be for extra money while on the road. However, most independent contractors write off their mileage, equipment and a portion of their home as a office (talk to your tax adviser).
We have inspections all over the nation, and often have trouble finding inspectors in areas where I WANT to take my RV (rural, coastal & mountain). My questions are these:
Is a position like I've explained of interest to those of you full-timers?
Would you plan or adjust your route to go where there were inspections available?
I'm just exploring the idea of promoting the opportunity to RVers. If you have general thoughts (good or bad), might be interested, or think other information would be valuable (if so, what) please let me know.
As always I appreciate everyone's ideas an input!
Thanks,
J
