Running Your First Condition Assessment

Walk through the full process — from selecting a property to reviewing your finished assessment.

Inspectr produces a finished condition assessment from inspection photos and existing documentation. The process has four steps: select a property, upload your data, add any context, and review your results.

Step 1: Select a property

Click Run Analysis from your dashboard. You'll choose between an existing property in your portfolio or a new property by entering an address.

If it's a property you've already added, search by name, address, city, or zip. If it's new, enter the address and Inspectr creates the property record.

Step 2: Upload your data

Choose how you'd like to upload. Inspectr accepts five input types:

  • Inspection Report (PDF) — a PDF with an inspector's checklist. If your team already produces inspection reports, this is the fastest path to a finished assessment.
  • Property Photos — individual photos or a PDF of photos without a structured checklist. Thorough coverage matters more than photo quality — capture every system, every room, every piece of equipment you can.
  • Dropbox Folder — link directly to a Dropbox folder containing your photos. Inspectr pulls them in automatically.
  • HappyCo CSV — upload a HappyCo inspection export. If your team runs inspections in HappyCo, this lets Inspectr work from that data directly.
  • Video Walkthrough — upload a walkthrough video. Inspectr extracts frames and analyzes them the same way it handles photos.

After selecting your upload type, drag and drop your files or click to browse.

Step 3: Add context

Add any notes that will help with the analysis — square footage, year built, known issues, areas of concern, or specific things to look for. This step is optional but improves results, especially for properties with unusual systems or recent renovations.

Step 4: Review your assessment

Once processing completes, your assessment opens to several tabs:

  • Overview — a system-by-system condition summary covering roof, envelope, HVAC, plumbing, electrical, interior finishes, site, and life safety. Each system shows its overall condition rating.
  • Repairs — a prioritized list of every issue found, with severity (Critical, High, Medium), classification (Immediate, Short Term), location down to the unit level, and a total estimated cost. Click any repair item to see full issue details — category, description, recommended action, and estimated cost with the option to refine the estimate.
  • Checklist — a record of what was evaluated, what was found, and what wasn't inspectable.
  • Capital Plan — a forward-looking replacement schedule built from the condition findings (covered in detail under Capital Plans).

The Inspectr Agent sits in the right panel throughout. It greets you with a summary of the overall condition and key findings, then you can ask it anything — break down costs, prioritize repairs, dive into specific systems, compare deferral scenarios, or challenge any estimate. Think of it as a conversation with someone who's read every photo and every data point.
