What if you could make $4,500 a month part-time by spending just 20–30 minutes inspecting homes under construction? In Part 1 of this two-part episode, Brien Gearin sits down with Lou Shaver of Trusted Agent Referrals and Inspections to break down the surprisingly accessible world of draw inspections. Lou shares how he turned a retirement side gig into a business averaging roughly 66 inspections per month, earning around $65–$75 per inspection, and explains how banks use inspectors like him to verify construction progress before releasing funds. He also walks through how beginners can get started with little more than a reliable vehicle and smartphone, where to find inspection work, how he grew from just one inspection his first month to a steady stream of jobs, and what actually happens during a typical on-site inspection!
