I wanted to share with everyone, I know alot of people are getting into cleaning foreclosed homes and I wanted to share this site I found. www.listbankrepos.com They have a foreclosure cleanup training guide that is downloadable! It teaches completely how to start and run your own business, how to market your business to the banks, it includes the HUD guideline tables to help you price your bids, and they also give you the bank contacts so you can start getting foreclosure cleaning contracts right away. I hope this helps anyone getting into the business. We also belong to http://www.instanthomelink.com We get alot of business here, the REO Asset managers go on there alot and request our services. They also send out monthly directly to the REO Asset managers our resume with all of our services.

If you want to start a business cleaning and hauling trash from foreclosure/ REO properties, try contacting the Acquiring Financial Institutions of failed banks... go to the FDIC's website to find preliminary contact info for the Acquiring Financial Institutions. Remember, you DON'T want the failed banks' info, but rather you want those organizations that are now handling their real estate assets... Lot of the big property preservation companies that handle the big contracts for these financial institutions are swamped ... they need the smaller foreclosure cleanup companies to help out. But make sure you have your ducks in a row to get these contracts and subcontracts (proper license, registration, insurance).

Good luck!

Getting contracts is the most important thing in this business, I was struggling getting contracts and then I found this website I wanted to share with you all, http://www.listbankrepos.com They have a good bank contact list, I just started signing up with all the banks and I got request for jobs in 2 days. I would highly recommend it

Don't forget to contact larger property preservation companies for foreclosure cleanup jobs and subcontracting work

We found that by carrying water on our trucks a lot of Banks would use us during the winter for carpet cleaning in Broomfield and Boulder. They tend to winterize the houses and do not have the water turned on. So for carpet cleaners to send a note to the Realtors doing bank repos mentioning that they carry water might bring in some more carpet cleaner business.

Good marketing angle when touching realtors re: water truck.... I'd suggest really playing it up on a postcard mailer. Anything to set your business apart and get noticed... REALLY great idea! Thanks for sharing.

No problem. A postcard to Realtor saying we specialize in Bank Owned properties and we carry water so you don't have too might work.
