FAR Inspections is actively seeking a reliable independent contractor to perform residential mortgage inspections in Cedar County, Nebraska and surrounding communities. If you live in or near Hartington or anywhere in Cedar 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 Cedar 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 covers a spacious rural county with longer drives between stops. A fuel-efficient vehicle and comfort with country roads are especially valuable.

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: Cedar County averages approximately 5 inspections per month.
