Foreclosure Cleaning Business: How to Start While Working Fulltime

Jan. 13, 2009 - PRLog -- Foreclosure Cleaning Business: How to Start While Working Fulltime

Owning a foreclosure cleaning business is a lucrative enterprise. It’s hard work, but one so filled with possibilities for growth that many are interested in this opportunity. But, you may be thinking, “I work fulltime. Is this something I can do on the side part-time.”

The answer is yes. While it won’t be easy – and don’t believe anyone who tells you that it is, it is entirely possible. Following are three tips for starting a foreclosure cleaning business while you hang on to your full-time job.

If you do it right, you can be out of your job before you know it because you can make from several hundred, to several thousand dollars on foreclosure clean up jobs.

3 Tips for Starting a Foreclosure Cleanup Business Part-time

Foreclosure Cleaning Biz Tip #1: Get someone to answer the phone. You must, must, must have someone there to answer your phone when it rings because most clients who are calling won’t leave a message – at least not the first time they call.

In the foreclosure cleaning business, clients are looking for quick service. So if someone doesn’t answer their call, they just go on to the next company. And, they do this until they come across a live person.

Foreclosure Cleaning Biz Tip #2: Schedule Jobs on the Weekend: Most jobs take anywhere from less than 24 hours to a few days. It all depends on what condition the property is in. Rarely do they go past a week though – that is, unless you’re doing a major cleanout like an apartment building (which is a whole other ball of wax).

So, if you line up two jobs during the week, you can do one on Saturday and one on Sunday. While you’ll be dog tired (told ya it wasn’t going to be easy), you will be making money – and progress so that one day (soon) you can quit your job.

Foreclosure Cleaning Biz Tip #3: Hire a Competent Crew: Getting jobs done on time and within budget is critical. You don’t want a job that should take 10-12 hours to drag into a second day. This costs you time and money. And, if you have to get back to work the next day, it can be a real hassle from a client – and work crew -- standpoint.

So, hire competent professionals who will adhere to a schedule and keep your foreclosure clean out project on track.
