How to Start a Foreclosure Cleanup Business, 2016-2017 Edition: Property Preservation Industry Guide, Published by Stone Cottage Books, Copyright 2016 by Cassandra Black.

INTRODUCTION

This book contains two parts: Part 1 and Part 2.

Part 1 contains text from the full First Edition book, almost verbatim as it was originally written, with the exception of newly updated stats, updated hyperlinks, new subcontracting contact information, as well as miscellaneous references throughout.

Why? Because Part 1 contains “the meat and potatoes” of how to start a foreclosure cleanup business, from the ground up, based on the experience of a foreclosure cleanup business owner at the company’s inception.

Though some of the information and references have changed, the fundamental first-hand information provided in Part 1 remains the same, and will provide invaluable insight for foreclosure cleaning business owners from on-the-ground, first-hand experience, including mistakes made and invaluable lessons learned.

On the other hand, Part 2 of this book consists of newly written information. It explores what’s going on in the industry today, the hurdles and changes that have impacted the market, and how foreclosure cleanup owners are mastering them to grow profitable companies present-day.

_______________

_______________

A foreclosure cleanup business is responsible for primarily the cleaning, clearing and maintenance of properties that have been foreclosed upon. Services offered by these enterprises involve interior and exterior repair and maintenance, ranging from debris removal, boarding of windows and doors, changing locks, inspections, painting, and more. The foreclosure cleanup industry is growing as a result of the astronomical number of foreclosures on the market today.

Though often termed "property preservation companies," foreclosure cleanup companies are actually different in that they are generally smaller contractors that work as arms of larger property preservation companies. The larger property preservation companies, in most scenarios, work directly with HUD (the Department of Housing and Urban Development). Increasingly, the larger companies are relying on the services of smaller foreclosure cleanup companies, who act as foot soldiers in the management, cleanup, and repair of properties in pre-foreclosure and foreclosure states.

How to Start a Foreclosure Cleanup Business includes the following topics: Business start-up, licensing, insurance, pricing, marketing, HUD subcontracting resources, start-up sample forms, copies of actual bids, and much more. Readers get detailed direction on niche marketing, working with larger contractors, choosing helpers, licensing and insurance, uniforms, equipment and supply purchasing versus renting, and other necessary information to help them start and grow a successful foreclosure cleanup enterprise.

Further, readers receive a detailed look at several previous foreclosure cleanup bids won and jobs completed, with a step-by-step analysis of how each job unfolded, from a professional with a background as an Atlanta-based foreclosure cleanup business owner.

The author has a wealth of experience as a realtor, real estate contractor, investor, and foreclosure cleanup business owner. As a result, readers learn crucial start-up tactics from a real estate professional with pointed experience in several real estate industry capacities.

Werewolf in Paradise Nov 2, 2011

by Yuwanda Black, Cassandra Black, Stone Cottage Books

$2.99

WEREWOLF IN PARADISE DESCRIPTION: Something had changed in Carolyn Killborn. On vacation in the Caribbean to escape the stresses of a growing business and a marriage gone wrong, she felt different. There was a strange aura in the air. And the news of a bloody murder steps from her hotel on the cliffs of Negril didn’t help. Part of her wanted to run back to everything familiar in Atlanta; but she knew it wasn’t time. She had some things to sort out in this tropical paradise before she faced Tyrone. PREVIEW “Dumb bitch! You did this on purpose. I told you, I’M NOT READY!” he snarled. He was inches from her face. The blood oozed from Carolyn’s swollen lip to the lace trim on her silk white blouse. She turned away to avoid the next blow. He shoved her head-first into the bathroom door. Her wrist protected her face from the silver towel knob anchored in the heavy, dark wood. “Please Tyrone,” she begged. “I didn’t do it on purpose.” Her petite frame trembled as she tried to keep her balance. The doctor said it’s possible to get pregnant on the pill, please!” she pleaded, afraid to turn around. Tyrone spun her around with a force that splattered the crimson trail from her lips to his light blue Armani shirt. The last thing she remembered was being kicked in the stomach by her husband as she pooled into a human ball on the cool tile of the bathroom floor. ___________ Carolyn bolted up to the searing pain of a dog’s teeth in her butt. The bright red blood oozing from the open wound frightened her. Dr. Yoruba said she had to take the pills -- to stop the changes. What changes? Carolyn was fine. Something killed the tourist on Lighthouse Road. It couldn’t have been human. Ellen Knowley, the new Alaskan detective had seen these types of killings before, on the Frontier. The killer was not human and the bloody carnage was just beginning. __________ Allan held what was left of his tongue in one hand and tried in vain to stop the flow of blood with the other while running from the beast in front of him. With every step, the sanguine fluid spewed like water from a busted pipe. Trying in vain to scream, every breath brought forth a fresh stream of what felt like warm water. Only he could see it was blood . . . his blood. The silver moon gave perfect, movie-like lighting to the cannibalistic creature in front of him. Golden eyes flashed . . . Razor sharp fangs snarled . . . Powerful legs lunged, again and again . . . each time taking chunks out of his legs, arms, side. In less than a minute, Allan was wearing a suit of his own maroon bodily fluid. The gummy warmness travelled down what was left of his limbs, forming slippery pools in his brown leather Eccos. Losing balance in the blood-soaked sandals, he tripped on a large rock and fell backwards against the zinc fence that separated somebody’s property from the road. The man shielded his face and tried to locate a stick, a bottle, anything with his free hand, to help him fight off this beast that had materialized out of the darkness.

MONTANA LOVE

Book Overview:

Cynthia Alexander is on her way to the Midwest to babysit her godson. Her friend Thelma and her husband have planned a long overdue honeymoon, and Cynthia has agreed to help out.

Two weeks in Cattlewood, a sleepy Montana town -- hold-up on a ranch with a feisty four-year-old -- is certainly not her idea of a relaxing vacation, but the timing really couldn’t be more perfect. The law firm is in the midst of relocating its downtown offices to another building, and everyone’s caseload is coming to a strategic halt.

Cynthia knows a break from her fast-paced career as a corporate attorney will do her some good because she’s been on the fast-track too long.

While many of her friends from college are married with children, in Cynthia’s world, settling down is nowhere on the radar -- especially in the midst of competing for the coveted partnership position at hand. No husband and babies for her, and she likes it that way just fine … but for those occasional moments of loneliness in the middle of the night.

But unforeseen circumstances suddenly thrust her into a position where she’s left as guardian of the little boy, and life as she’s known it comes to a screeching halt. She’s suddenly a single mother in an environment that is as foreign to her as running a ranch.

***

Handsome rancher Dexter Callahan can see the little lady is out of her element in Sheppard County, especially with Dennis the Menace underfoot. The boy is a handful; Dex knows from personal experience. Carson gives his own mother a run for her money, so it amuses him to see Cynthia trying to keep up.

Dexter would like nothing more than to help the newcomer get settled -- for the child’s sake and for his own personal reasons -- if she wasn’t so stubborn and hell-bent on leaving.

***

Cynthia has decided this cannot be her fate. She has one thing on her mind: getting back to San Francisco. But after a little while, she can’t deny there is something irresistible about Montana, the little boy … and Dexter Callahan. Spending time with them has her taking a closer and sometimes painful look at her priorities and how she’s been living her life, and it has her reconsidering the idea of settling in the Midwest.

Happily Ever After: Multicultural Romance Jul 18, 2015

by Cassandra Black, Stone Cottage Books

$0.99

Book Overview:

Hopeless romantic Janelle Anderson is a twenty-eight year old voluptuous paralegal who’s tired of living in her size zero little sister Toni’s shadow.

Between office gossip and her mom’s constant criticism, Janelle finds comfort in reality TV catfights and baking cupcakes with her cat Dandelion. But just when she thinks her mediocre life can't get any worse, Toni announces her upcoming engagement.

With the wedding date fast-approaching, things soon spin out of control as Janelle kicks her dating life out of park and into drive.

All hope seems lost -- until an unlikely lover comes to Janelle’s rescue.

Book Excerpt

…

“I hope you're going to use that bat on a real burglar instead of just opening the door for strangers,” my mother says sashaying her way into my apartment.

The bat hits the floor as I take a step back to let her inside my tiny apartment. To use the word ‘surprised’ to see my mother would be an understatement.

She waltzes in with her Chanel powdered pink skirt and crisp white blouse. Her pearls and diamond earrings bounce off the lighting in my kitchen. A light floral scent of lavender and cotton candy suddenly fill the air. Her heels click-clack across the wooden floor.

Just like that, my day goes from bad to worse, within a matter of minutes. I close my robe tightly and shut the door. I’m almost too embarrassed to even look at my mother. At 56, she still has the physique of a woman half her age.

Money and time can afford you the luxury of working out five days a week, I think.

I stand behind the door and avert my eyes occasionally looking in the same direction as the woman who gave birth to me. I can tell by her raised brow and her nose in the air that she doesn’t approve of my living arrangements.

My apartment feels like home to me. I love the oversized pillows of different shapes and patterns that complement the coffee-colored couch I often fall sleep on; the aqua colored rug I bought at the thrift store; unique art on the wall purchased from a local artist in Charlotte, whom I support at least once a year; oversized scented candles filling each corner of the room; African statues and tiny pieces of ethnic art here and there; stacks of books from the library; and a few photos of me with my friends over the years strategically placed.

It’s my home, and I like it.

“Ah-choo!” my mother lets out.

“Bless you,” I say.

With disgust in her voice, my mother asks, “Do you have a cat?”

“Yes,” I nod.

“Get rid of it!” she demands, clutching her purse.

I walk over to Dandelion and pick her up, cradling her like a newborn baby in my arms. “I beg your pardon,” I ask, rubbing her softly.

“I’m allergic,” my mother barks, searching inside of her Michael Kors handbag for a napkin.

I place Dandelion back into her bed. Folding my arms, I hear myself reply, “This is Dandelion’s home, not yours.”

“Fair enough. We won’t be staying long anyway,” she says roaming her eyes over the apartment.

“We?”

The doorbell doesn't ring, but the doorknob turns at my front door, and in walks my arch nemesis. Toni. Dressed in thousand-dollar Vera Wang eight-inch heels, a black pencil skirt, and a sheer black blouse, Toni bounces into my apartment, unannounced.

Merry Christmas To Me: Multicultural Romance Dec 15, 2014

by Cassandra Black, Stone Cottage Books

( 4 )

$2.99

Introduction: It was the holiday season, and divorcee Sandy Ross was at her in-laws’ estate home in Philadelphia. Sitting around the table, another Christmas, listening to her ex-husband Charles take little stabs at her, she wondered why she put herself through the ridicule, year after year. But Sandy looked over at her son and daughter and was quickly reminded. She endured the torture of the holiday dinners for the sake of her children; so they could have some sense of normalcy after the divorce. But she never did fit into the big Ross family and all of their snobbery and wealth -- not then and not now. Since the divorce five years ago, Sandy had stepped back into a career long-abandoned. She’d made great strides starting her own investment firm. At 45, she earned a six figure salary, had a solid business, owned a beautiful home in an elite suburb of the city, and she was healthy and fit. But for some reason, every time she stepped back into the Ross world, she felt like that insecure young woman Charles had married all those years ago. But she was finding her bootstraps this year, and she feared one more sip of eggnog would have her giving Charles and his snooty mother a piece of her mind before storming off in search of her own Merry Christmas -- which would have little to do with turkey and cranberry sauce, and more to do with Holden, Charles’ younger brother, who she’d wanted for years. *** But little did Sandy know, Holden Ross had craved more than her body all those years she was married to his brother; he’d fallen in love with her. And if he has his way this Christmas, her idea of a one night stand could turn into forever. _______________ Multicultural Romance, Interracial Romance, BWWM Romance

BOOK EXCERPT:

... The next morning I dressed very carefully. Sexy silk panties and matching black lace bra. Garter belt hose. Tight rayon shift in canary yellow, the one with the plunging neckline, the slit up the side. Five inch fuckme heels. I spent an hour on my hair. And ten minutes deciding on a scent. I fussed until I looked damn good.

My boss was going to be out all morning, otherwise I would have worn something more subtle.

I got looks from the boys in shipping. And the boss’s personal assistant made a wow face and gave a low whistle when I walked past her desk.

“Monica, girl, you look awesome. You lose weight?”

"I wish."

My mind wasn't on my work or anywhere near it, so the morning plodded. I could only handle so much. A few simple redesigns for the new website, form responses to a slew of old, unimportant emails. Stuff I usually did on the weekend or late at night when I only needed half a brain. Right now, that was all I had.

At eleven-forty, I stood up and headed for the door, my purse under my arm. My heart drummed in my ears. My mouth was full of dust. I reminded myself that I needed this, that I needed a lusty afternoon with an attractive stranger. I’d been dry way too long ...

Will Heather-Anne and Jake's new friendship, forged by their similar pasts, be too little to overcome the feud that drove their families apart? Or will their mounting passion and need for each other be enough to transcend age-old differences and family secrets as they fight to live and love again? __________ BOOK EXCERPT: As Jake Coleman walked toward her, she surprised herself even thinking about another man. It had been almost three years since her Robert had left this earth. And since then, she hadn't once considered anyone else in her life – not until today. Her eyes widened and her stomach did somersaults as the handsome, rugged man got closer. Thick waves of shoulder-length black hair were secured from his face by a chocolate cowboy. Her eyes immediately went to his ring finger. No ring. "Ma'am," he said, tipping the hat, as he almost strode past her. Her heart sank. "Good morning," she uttered, disappointed Jake Coleman did not recognize her. Foolish girl, she thought, feeling like a jilted teenager all over again. She chastised herself like she used to when she'd flirted in front of him and he hadn't noticed at all. Jake spun back around. "Heather-Anne?" he asked, pushing the hat back from his eyes. "My goodness, Little Heather-Anne!" "Jake Coleman," she said, smiling wide as she stood up from the bench to greet him. His pulse quickened as he took in her sensual frame. Letting his eyes travel over her pert bosom down to her narrow waist, he tried to control the rise inside of him. Heather-Anne noticed the slight whispers of salt-and-pepper strands at his temples, disappearing under the cowboy hat. He had gotten even sexier with age. She knew Jake couldn't be more than 42 or 43. He was only a few years older than she was. There was a noticeable, distinguished quality about him as a man that she hadn't seen as a teenager. Jake's eyes brightened and consumed her, knowing full well who she was from the second he drove up: the way she sat, with her soft, shapely legs properly folded, one dangling over the other; the way she pretended to be gazing intently at the newspaper in front of her as she was taking in everything in her peripheral vision; the way she fingered the wisps of soft, brown curls in her tiny, white-tipped fingers and pushed them gently from her delicately shaped face; and the way emerald eyes framed by long batting lashes seemed to dance when they landed on him. He knew Heather-Anne McCreary well. He'd pictured her many nights over the past several years. "Well I'll be," he said, instinctively picking her up and twirling her around. "Put me down, Jake Coleman," she laughed. "Jake Coleman, put me down!" Heather-Anne giggled some more, surprised at the sound of her own laughter. ###
