foreclosure news

If you want to clean foreclosed properties for a living, it is the perfect time to start. Why? According to the 1/4/09 LA Times article, HUD funds to help cities clean up foreclosures, Congress has allocated $4 billion to help clean up the rash of home foreclosures across the country.

The articles states, “Across the country, cities and counties are performing housing triage as they prepare to spend the $4 billion Congress has allocated under the Neighborhood Stabilization Program.” This is good news for three reasons for foreclosure cleanup companies.

3 Reasons the Neighborhood Stabilization Program is Good News for Those Who Want to Clean Foreclosed Properties

1. Funds Must be Spent: Once the government allocates funds for certain purposes, the monies must be spent, or the local municipalities lose those funds. There isn’t a government official who’s ever been elected who wants to give money back, so city and county officials will be glad to loose the purse strings and spend every penny.

And, if you’re one of the lucky ones who acted on your desire to clean foreclosed properties, you may just be in line for some foreclosure cleanup contracts, which brings us to the next point.

2. Foreclosure Cleanup Contracts: Local governments like to do business with businesses. They will probably put some type of bidding process in place so that owners of foreclosure cleanup companies can bid on foreclosure cleanup contracts.

This means now is the time to start your foreclosure cleanup business, ie, get licensed, bonded and insured. Most likely, you’ll be one of the few “qualified companies” in town who meet all the criteria to bid on any foreclosure cleanup contracts your city/county offers. And, with guaranteed funds in place – getting paid is not something you’ll have to worry about.

3. Catapult Your Business: Most newbies to this business never think beyond their desire to “just” clean foreclosed properties. But, starting out with a government contract can catapult your business to the next level – almost from the beginning.

Imagine having guaranteed business almost immediately. This exponentially increases your chances of success as a foreclosure cleanup service. The beauty of getting foreclosure cleanup contracts with your local government is that you make contacts that can ensure more business down the road.

Clean Foreclosed Properties: There’s Never Been a Better Time to Start This Biz

The bottom line is if you want to clean foreclosed properties for a living, now is the best time to start. The government is extremely anxious to start rehabbing foreclosed properties – and they’re putting their money where their mouths are. According to the article mentioned above, “It’s [the Neighborhood Stabilization Program] like no other government program I’ve seen . . . They want to get the money on the streets, fast.”
