I did it for 2 months for a company in Fl called Cyprexx. Lots of pictures to take. I made some money, But it wasn't worth it. Plus they don't want to pay the NYS Sales tax.
Banks. Get in with banks. When the economy started to tank 5-6 years ago, I knew the banks would be the ones who would have the money and assets - we do a ton of this type of work for multiple banks, everything from initial cleanup to weekly lawn maintenance, most of this we outsource but it is very good, steady money.
There are regulations by FM that require the homes be maintained.
I,m going back into it for the winter. Things are slow so I,m going to do it for a few months. This time around I will bid the work before I do anything. The company that called me last week says they will pay me weekly. There numbers are lower then I was getting. But like I said I will bid first. They need guys in my area. Heres a website you can start with http://cubicyard.us/. There is a list of companys here. You can fill out the vender forms and apply. Ask for a price list. This is the Hud price list http://www.hud.gov/offices/hsg/sfh/...ate=NY&state_required=Please+identify+a+State. If anybody has any questions feel free to ask. Good luck
