Melody, I turned down 3 assignments yesterday due to low pay. I got my inspections assignments on 5/1 , I only had 14 and I worked 5/1, 5/2 and 5/3 and made $910. Then I got a call from the company I work for that an inspector did not accept his inspections for Southern Ga. It was 5/5 and you have to accept of decline the inspection orders within 48 hours. The Ga inspector had not accepted his inspections and he offered them to me. They were not that far from me. There were 7 inspections at 65 each for $455.00 and did those all in one day . Each inspection only takes about 20 minutes with another 20 minutes to download photos and inspection report. I have done this in the past and he always knows he can count on me. I him him that I can do North Florida and South Georgia if he needs me. I even went to Miami in December to do 46 inspections, that was $2990 and they paid my travel expenses for hotel and extra mileage to Miami. It was real tough, 80 degrees in December where it was 40 degrees in my home town.
What I am saying is that in 4 days I made $1365. Plus, they pay like clockwork, they pay within 2 weeks of receiving my invoice. I can not make that kind of money doing loan signings. I only do loan signings now if they pay my fee and they are close.
I am going to training on 6/2 to become a Certified FEMA inspector. The training is fee but you have to pay your hotel/air fare, meals, etc. It will be well worth it for me. Hurricane Season starts 6/2 and I did FEMA inspections last year but this year you have to be certified.
