Field services?
here in baltimore there are a ton of rough neighborhoods, I frequently go through them when looking at deals, and lots of investors gobble up cheap houses in them.
I was tossing around the idea of starting a field services service where I would take pictures of the entire property, do a written report of the condition (not inspection) just visual writeup. That way investors wouldn't have to visit tons of properties and I could charge a fee for it.
I figured this would serve two purposes, 1) I could make some money while Im already going through neighborhoods, and 2) it could be a good source of leads that other investors pass on.
Are there companies that offer these types of services, how much do they charge etc? I was thinking 50-75 per visit depending on size of house and area.
