Hey so I have two properties in Topeka Kansas and I have an Aunt that lives there what is a reasonable amount of money to pay her each time she goes and takes pictures and video on my behalf to verify inspections and also completed rehabs??

My price I had in my mind was about $50.00 each visit and it would include the following;

pre inspections; picture and video footage of every interior room and living space. summary description list of items she spots.

1/2 through the rehab;  picture and video footage of every interior room and living space. summary description list of items she spots.

Final stage of the rehab before paying contractor the last installment for completed work: picture and video footage of every interior room and living space. summary description list of items she spots.

I have a property manager and contractor that will give me an itemized bid and do there inspections on the place together.

I would be sending my aunt as boots on the ground. the pics and videos is an extension on myself noting physically being there.

thank you all I hope to get a good idea what people would pay there family member for service like this. she is also out of work temporally with no pay because of the coronavirus so this could help her out a little.

@Benjamin Orozco

I've done this for investors before. The minimum  I charge is $65.00 per hour portal to portal. Minimum 3 hours.
