As a field service inspector, you have to ask for higher inspection fees. Hawaii inspectors have higher costs. It costs more to drive that 4WD F-150 to the higher elevations of Colorado in the winter. A RUSH inspection will upset the rest of your daily schedule and needs to be priced higher. The IRS says it costs you 56-cents a mile to drive your vehicle. Reports and photo management can eat up a lot of your time. Work for the higher quality firms that pay the higher fees.
Don’t waste your time with the game players in the mortgage segment that want to pay you $3, or less, for an inspection.
