FAR Inspections is actively seeking a reliable independent contractor to perform residential mortgage inspections in Mississippi County, Missouri and surrounding communities. If you live in or near Charleston or anywhere in Mississippi County, this is a great opportunity to earn supplemental or full-time income on your own schedule.

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 Mississippi County, you will perform residential occupancy verifications. These are brief, exterior visits to confirm property status and report on general conditions.

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
