From your dashboard, tap New Inspection to begin. You can do this anywhere — at your desk the night before, or in the driveway with no signal. Everything you enter is saved to your device immediately.
1. Choose the inspection type
The type sets up the right kind of checklist and report:
- Pre-Purchase — a full condition inspection for a buyer, organized by building systems and rooms.
- Rental Move-In — a room-by-room condition record at the start of a tenancy, to protect the deposit.
- Rental Move-Out — the counterpart at the end of a tenancy, to compare against move-in.
- Rental Mid-Term Review — a periodic check during a tenancy.
2. Add the client and property
Enter the client's name and contact details, then the property address. Location fields such as colonia, municipio, and estado are optional — fill in what you have; they print on the report when present.
3. Fill the property profile
The property profile (the pre-inspection questionnaire) is optional but worth the 30 seconds. Record what you know about the property:
- Bedrooms, bathrooms, and levels
- Size (m²) and year built
- Whether it has a cistern (cisterna) and a rooftop tank (tinaco)
- LP gas type — stationary tank, cylinders, or none
- Any notes to carry into the inspection
This does three useful things: it scopes the room list to match the bedroom and bathroom counts, it suggests a matching template when one fits the property type, and it prints on the report header so the finished document describes the property at a glance.
4. Start from a template (optional)
If you've built templates, you can start the inspection from one. The template seeds the systems and rooms so you arrive with the checklist already built. When your property profile's type matches a single template, InspectoMX suggests it automatically; change the type and any stale suggestion clears.
5. Start now or schedule
Finally, choose to start the inspection now or schedule it for a later date. Scheduled inspections wait on your dashboard until you're ready to begin.
