Log in to followGuy who flips two or three houses a year asked if I'd clear one out since I was already doing his plumbing. 1,100 square foot ranch, deceased owner, family had taken what they wan…
Running one 16-foot box truck, two-man crew, mostly REO trash-outs off one servicer plus overflow turnover cleans from two property managers. Current month looks like this. 22 hau…
I've been running cleaning crews for five years, mostly for landlords who pay me off an invoice and never ask about paperwork. Started filling out a vendor application to get REO…
House I'm under contract on has maybe a room and a half of junk plus a garage packed to the door. Previous owner left furniture, a lot of boxes, an old riding mower, and what look…
Small thing but it changed how I think about my own time. Tenant of three years moved out of a two bedroom. Unit was okay, normal wear, but the oven and the bathroom needed real w…
My aunt's estate has a house going to sale and I'm the one handling the paperwork, so the cleanout invoice landed on me. It's $7,900 for a 1,600 square foot ranch with a basement.…
The figure I've seen quoted for tenant turnover is about $1,750 on average, cleaning included. I'm trying to break that into lines I can put in a model rather than carry as one lu…

Flip, 1,400 square feet, seller left about half the house furnished. I got three bids. $3,400, $3,100, and a two-man crew at $2,200 who could start Monday. I took the $2,200 becau…
I'm papering the vendor side for a small group that's about to start taking REO clear-out orders. Two crews, they want to sign with a couple of servicers and a regional property m…
