Foreclosures: 1 in Every 662 Housing Units
The market for these types of starting a business is ever-increasing.
According to RealtyTrac, in March of 2012, one in every 662 housing
units received a foreclosure filing.
RealtyTrac collects and aggregates home foreclosure statistics from over
2,200 counties, covering over 90% of the households in the United
States.
5. Banks, Financial Institutions, Realtors, Investors, Property
Preservation Companies
These often smaller start-up enterprises that clean up, clear out,
repair and/or maintain foreclosures and REO properties are hired by
the following firms and professionals: banks and mortgage companies,
realtors, investors, homebuyers, and larger mortgage field services
companies.
6. Continuously Searching for New Jobs
New foreclosure cleaning business owners can add to their bottom line
quickly by scouring job and small business contract sources regularly. Job
outlets should be researched on a daily basis for quick growth on
classified ads websites, via direct marketing, on realtor boards, via
builders' sites, investment clubs, and similar outlets.
A mistake many small business owners make is the following: landing one
large contract and resting on their laurels. Entrepreneurs in this industry
should continuously search for new clients to grow their businesses.
7. One Company, Several Offices
Direct contact with property preservation companies is one of the best
tactics for landing meaty contracts and bidding opportunities. These
large entities, more often than not, have offices in several states. For
example, a company's headquarters might be in Chicago, but that same
entity may have smaller offices and a large number of properties for
which they are responsible in several other states.
8. Diversify When Applying for Jobs
Smaller businesses can grow quickly by working with larger outfits, but
should not remain glued to one or two property preservation companies.
They should sign up with more than one property preservation company
so their business income flows from various sources.
