Re: Suggestions on how to inspect 14 unit mobile home park
First, I would be the one telling the prospective client how long it will take for the inspection. If you are dealing with occupied rental units, it will take some time. As others have said you need to find out what you are inspecting before you commit to anything.

Before I give a quote on any commercial or multifamily job I always drive by and see what I will be dealing with.

With 14 units you could have them done in two days with the help of another inspector. Then another few hours to write the report. Manufactured homes are not that hard to inspect, you just have to know what you are looking for and at.

I would estimate about 24 man hours to do the inspections and then about 3-4 hours to write the report. So I would base my bid on 28 hours of time.
