Your help is appreciated as I am trying to get some direction.

I think that you are talking about the HUD REACT inspections. This is an inspection of HUD subsidised housing. Most of it is controled by a few major contractors who bid on the work and then job it out. Some individual inspectors also bid on the work in their areas. Last I heard the bids were going for as low as $40 per unit. So if you have a 100 unit complex you could see how this could add up, it is all based on volume.
