How to Start a Foreclosure Cleanup Business: Property Preservation Industry Dec 7, 2010

by Cassandra Black, Stone Cottage Books

( 43 )

$2.99

Note: For the latest edition of this book, see http://www.amazon.com/dp/B019E3JT96, How to Start a Foreclosure Cleanup Business, 2016-2017 Edition.

How to Start a Foreclosure Cleanup Business is the most up-to-date, thorough analysis of how to start and grow a foreclosure cleanup business.

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 in 2011 and beyond.

Further, readers receive a detailed look at several foreclosure cleanup bids won and jobs completed, with a step-by-step analysis of how each job unfolded. (All information is from the first-hand account of an Atlanta-based foreclosure cleanup business owner.)

The author is 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.

How to Start a Foreclosure Cleanup Business is unique in that it provides a detailed perspective on starting and growing a foreclosure cleanup business from a seasoned professional who has successfully worked on many levels in the real estate industry.

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.

Introduction

It's the holiday season, one week before Thanksgiving, and Chelsea Winters is moving from the hustle and bustle of Washington, D.C. to Whisper Creek, a small Virginia town on the outskirts of Norfolk. Taking a detour in her career, she gets a waitressing job at the town's local diner to help make ends meet as she licks her wounds and starts over.

Chelsea doesn't expect to meet Logan Wilde, the handsome, sexy businessman who owns the diner and most of the small businesses in the area, including the largest paper mill on the East Coast. Logan is also the owner of the cottage she's renting on Arbor Lane. Chelsea knows getting involved with her landlord and her boss -- especially after what happened in D.C. -- might not be a good idea.

Logan knows there's more to Chelsea Winters than meets the eye. He wanted her the second he saw her curvy, petite frame peering into his diner window early one morning before dawn. Beautiful, smart, fiery, she reminds him of his mother, his father's mistress, who he believes abandoned him as a child to escape small-town living for the big city.

What's a big city girl doing in a small town like Whisper Creek? Logan wonders what Chelsea's running from in D.C., and how long she plans to stay in Whisper Creek. He wants her in his world -- and it has nothing to do with her working in his diner.

Heather-Anne McCreary has moved back home to Sweetwater Cove, a quaint Alabama town, after a tragic loss in Los Angeles. An old land dispute rears its ugly head again, just as romantic feelings begin to blossom between her and the handsome Jake Coleman, her neighbor, who's fighting to recover from his own personal loss.

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.

_______________

SAMPLE FROM CHAPTER 1:

It was November, early evening. Raven was relaxing on the enclosed porch of her and Dallas’ cabin in Gin River, Colorado. The wedding planning binder was in her lap and their seven month old son, Dane, was propped up in the cradle next to her. Raven looked around at the pretty land and exhaled. She reflected on the summer before last, when she'd first arrived in Gin River.

She had been in town for her friend Amanda’s wedding. Butterflies flitted around in her stomach as she remembered when she first laid eyes on Dallas Kincaid, who was now her fiancé. He’d almost run into her rental car with his horse that morning. Sparks flew as she gave the handsome stranger a piece of her mind almost two and a half years ago in the service station parking lot. Though they'd gotten off on the wrong foot, it seemed they were destined to meet again ...

###

SAMPLE FROM CHAPTER 2:

Dallas looked at her with love in his eyes.

Raven knew he needed her body, just as she needed his. She laid back on the bed as he cradled her. His mouth claimed each of her swelling breasts as he cupped them with his rigid hands.

Raven let out a small cry as her eyes landed on the baby monitor on the night stand next to the bed.

Good, all’s quiet, she thought as she parted her thighs to Dallas’ gentle probing.

“I love your body,” he breathed in a husky tone, sliding his muscular frame, tight from mountain work, down between her legs.

As his fingers slid over her wetness, massing in a way that sent spirals of pleasure throughout her body, his dark eyes locked with hers. The tree between his legs stiffened even more as he watched Raven’s naked body writhe, fighting to muffle cries of ecstasy trying to escape her body. Feeling her softness, her heat, hearing her whimpers, his erection turned to steel.

He needed her; but not yet. Dallas got the most pleasure out of pleasing his Raven in this way.

Without warning, he dragged his mouth over the swollen flesh between her legs, lingering as he swirled and dipped his tongue in and out of her sweet nectar ...

###

Author’s Note: “Loving a Country Man” was initially written as a standalone book. However, readers wanted more of Raven Monroe and Dallas Kincaid, so Part 2 of this love story was penned.

"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.
