     The owner of FAR is by far one of the most outstanding business leaders in the field today.  He is always looking for ways to speed up the process of inspections.  He is hands on and will probably call you once or twice a week to check on you.  This dude cares.  
     The bad is the pay unless you're a hustler.   If so you could easily make several hundred a day.  If not this job may not be for you.  The pay is dictated by very stingy mortgage executives but can be raised by those outstanding business leaders I spoke of earlier.  Another bad thing is you will put miles on your car.  No way around it.
     If you like working by yourself. If you are an above average hustler.  If you don't mind the mileage on the family minivan, you might just find your career as an independent contractor is the job of your dreams.


You work for whatever county you are assigned to. They expect you to knock on peoples door and verify occupancy. These people are preparing for foreclosure. - They don’t want you at their door creating hostility. They don’t reimburse you for your mileage or gas so you’re expected to pay that out-of-pocket. The pay is five dollars for City and $15-$20 outside of that. You get paid once a month and it’s around $500.  You get charged Late fees as well, so you will lose money. The only positives I could say is that each job takes around 5 to 6 minutes. So if $500 a month and a lot of gas and mileage sound good to you this is for you

This company has you drive out to people's houses in foreclosure and knock on their doors and take pictures. The people living in the house you are sent to often are very angry and can become hostile because you are harassing them and trespassing.  On top of all that they don't pay well and expect you to know everything about the business. They don't compensate you for gas even when it is high and they don't always pay the correct amount to you. 

They do not pay well and the work is inconsistent at best. Not worth going through all of the training for the little you may make. 
The manager is arrogant and doesn't communicate well. Good luck getting any kind of help when asking questions. 

Flexible work schedule with great communication from the office staff. Inspections were straight forward and easy to complete. The work is just enough to fit my schedule and allow for some additional income.

No training, just sent out to hostile peoples homes that they are getting ripped out of. Just not a good situation. Very low pay and a lot of mileage and gas that you have to pay for out of pocket. 

Low pay. Unprofessional staff. Owner constantly treats you hostile when jobs don't get done. Jobs get deleted and territories get removed by the owner's feelings. 
Horrible company to work for. 


They are paid 93 dollars an inspection, you get 5. you pay your own gas and supplies. Working for free plus pay taxes later as a 1099. You own car wear and tear, gas 

They try to keep you busy, not a bad company if you like driving and turn your work in on time! Flexible schedule, bonus for on time work offered. Lots of driving!

Supportive team, strong leadership, and clear goals. Fast-paced yet rewarding work with growth opportunities and competitive compensation and balance.
