The wonderful thing about this business is that it works just about everywhere. If there are foreclosures in your city, then you can bet there is an opportunity to create a successful business. Currently, we have clients that are operating out of: Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Georgia, Oklahoma, New York, Rhode Island, Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, California and Nevada.

The start up costs are significantly lower than many other businesses, but you’ll still need between $2k and $3k to start. Of course, just like anything else, the more money you have, the easier time you’ll have in the beginning. In the beginning, you”ll incur the following costs: business formation expenses, insurance down payment, possibly 1 week of payroll.

Preservation work generally includes the following: landscaping, board ups, debris removal, evictions and securing. It generally does not include major renovation and/or remodeling work.

Each company has a different schedule. 80% of the companies recommended in the course complete deposits on a bi-weekly basis. There are a handful of companies that pay every 30 days. If you’re a new vendor or starting with limited funds, I would only work with the companies that pay bi-weekly.

Generally, the most successful students are operating their business full time. However, it’s possible to work your 9 to 5 AND operate this business if your job has a certain level of flexibility built in. You should be able to send and/or respond to a quick text message or email. If your job does not allow you to be on the phone at all, you should not start until you have a more flexible position OR a suitable partner.

The course includes a sample ad that has been proven to be effective at locating quality subcontractors. Finding great subs is a HUGE part of your success and it can certainly prove challenging. To counteract those challenges, we recommend that each business owner makes recruiting a DAILY part of their practice. It’s better to have and not need than to need and not have.

The average amount of time is 60 days. However, there are exceptions of course. The fastest time from course completion to actually working in the industry is 2 weeks. I do want to stress that it is NOT a competition and the goal is to maximize your contract once you obtain it. In order to do that, you’ll need to establish a solid foundation and build a good team. These two things can take some time, so please be mindful of that.
