HUD keys are commonly used when field service companies assign inspections involving secured or vacant properties. Having the proper key set available can help you accept assignments without waiting until you need them.
Many field service companies require inspectors to have a current industry background check before receiving assignments. ShieldHub provides a background check designed for the mortgage field services industry.
Through Mortgage Field Services, the ShieldHub background check is available for $55 instead of the regular $65.
We continue adding field service companies that accept independent contractor applications. Some companies work with new inspectors, while others may prefer prior experience, specific coverage areas, background checks, insurance, or additional qualifications.
Completing your Mortgage Field Services training can help you present yourself more professionally and show that you understand the basic expectations of field inspection work.

Order HUD Keys for Field Inspection Work
Mortgage field service inspectors are generally expected to have their own HUD key set as part of their basic field tools.
HUD keys are used for property access when a company assigns work involving secured, vacant, or previously serviced properties. Since inspectors work as independent contractors, these keys are considered part of the tools needed to perform field inspection work.
HUD key sets are available through the link below for inspectors who need them. This can save time and help new inspectors avoid trying to figure out the correct keys on their own.
A HUD key set can be useful for work with multiple mortgage field service companies, not just one company.
ShieldHub Industry Background Check
Most mortgage field service companies require inspectors to complete a specialized industry background check before assigning inspection work.
ShieldHub normally starts at $65, but the link below provides the MFS discounted price of $55 for those who have successfully completed the free training course.
New York background checks cost more because of New York-specific requirements. New York applicants must select the New York option on the ShieldHub checkout page, and the MFS link still provides a small discount.
ShieldHub requires selfies and photos of your driver’s license during the background check process. Completing this step on a cell phone is usually easier.
