Nov. 20, 2012 - PRLog -- With trillions in risky housing loans taking a toll on the real estate industry, the foreclosure crisis is still in its infancy in a great many areas of the country. When homes go into foreclosure, banks and mortgage companies need small companies to clear out, cleaning, secure and maintain the interior and exterior of the empty foreclosures.

Foreclosure cleaning is a ripe business opportunity for those seeking to strike out on their own; and it's the perfect start-up company for families seeking to combine forces and start a successful company together.

Foreclosure cleaning services can offer everything from interior cleaning, to debris removal, yard maintenance, gutter cleaning and repair, to pressure washing, winterization, painting, property securing (changing locks and boarding windows and doors) to inspections, and more.

As a family, if you have one person good at administrative and recordkeeping tasks, another versed in overseeing and participating in manual labor, and a couple of hands with free time to do yard work, cleaning, and debris pickup, you have an excellent mix of talent for the start of a family-run foreclosure cleaning company.

Added Bonus:  If you have an uncle or cousin skilled in minor repairs or painting, or who have locksmith skills, you have an ideal group of business participants perfectly poised to compete in this burgeoning industry.

In your new family enterprise, much of the work can be scheduled to take place during the weekends, when the whole family may have more time to participate. For example, if your family consists of a stay-at-home parent, he or she can answer the business phone during the day while the children are at school.

The parent at home can handle the scheduling of estimate appointments for early evenings when the other spouse is home from work so they can both go out on estimate appointments together.

Family Businesses are Cropping Up Again

In an economy rogue with job layoffs and cutbacks, family businesses are cropping up at incredible rates. In the old days, family businesses were the norm, out of sheer necessity (i.e., farming, family stores, etc.); but over the years, families separated and started going in separate ways.

However, as economic times change, families are living together again, commuting to school and work together, economically traveling together (car trips), and starting businesses together again.
