chrisprickett Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 I just got this email, for criminy's sake: Hi , this is Jim from avengers field agency. We are looking for inspectors to do HUD inspections and lawn cuts along with the inspections. These properties are empty HUD houses. The job requires you to go to the address, complete a 1-page, check-off list regarding the interior & exterior condition. We also need the property mowed along with these inspections. These are to be conducted twice a month for a fee of $30.00 to you. These jobs will come in bulk and in the surrounding areas. I know the price of gas isn't getting any cheaper so try to arrange the inspections along with other jobs that you are doing in those same areas. WE ALSO HAVE FIELD CALLS(CONTACTING DELINQUENT DEBTORS) IN YOUR AREA AS WELL; THESE PAY SUBSTANTIALLY MORE! If you are interested in Field Chasing, where you try to put the debtor on the phone together with the collector, you get paid $40. It pays a sliding scale from $40-$20, depending if the person is home, or you can get in touch with a neighbor. You sign up the same way for either Property Inspector or Field Chasing. Property Inspectors pay $5, but come in bulk every two weeks. A check goes out on the last day of the month if jobs are completed omn the 15th of the month. If jobs are completed by the end of the month, a check goes out on the following 15th. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erby Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Some people are making serious money doing these. Called Field Services. http://namfs.org/04/ The one I know gets about $40.00 a shot, is seldom at the property more than 20-30 minutes and does a bunch a day. NOT a typical lawn mowing, just whacking the weeds down so the city and neighbors don't complain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DonTx Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Man I just knew there had to be some add on services I wasn't thinking about! Mow their lawn while you're shaking them down for late payment....gotta love it. I can see it now...."Hey, Hey, Hey...you want this flower bed weeded on the next trip you'd better be for paying your HUD note!" Or go the refreshing route of mowing the lawn after crawling out of a 150 degree attic! [:-jump] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kurt Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Yeah, kind of demeaning. Not exactly "inspection services"; more like underpaid property management. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian G Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 "Bare patches of ground and rampant thatch were noted in the area near the back patio. I recommend overseeding the bare parts with rye grass and having the area properly de-thatched by a qualified landscaper." Brian G.
