Learn how to register with your local housing authority to get foreclosure cleaning jobs (and other RE services related work).

You can also sign up with HUD for vending contracts. HUD is the Department of Housing and Urban Development. It’s mission is to:  

HUD’s mission is to increase homeownership, support community development and increase access to affordable housing free from discrimination. To fulfill this mission, HUD will embrace high standards of ethics, management and accountability and forge new partnerships–particularly with faith-based and community organizations–that leverage resources (emphasis added) and improve HUD’s ability to be effective on the community level.

Part of leveraging resources for HUD is to allocate funds to state and local jurisdictions for home and community improvement projects; many of which are ideal for foreclosure cleaning and real estate services firms.

One contract could be worth tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions. And, sometimes they go on for years. It all depends on what it’s for. For example, contracts are awarded to replace HVAC units in a low-income housing project; to clean up waste from a defined zone in a community; to board up windows on foreclosed properties in a certain zip code; etc.

Most contracts are awarded by bid — so you have to be signed up with your local Housing Authority or HUD itself in order to even be eligible to bid on them.

Benefits of Registering with HUD & Your Local Housing Authority for Foreclosure Cleaning Contracts

The beautiful thing about signing up and/or being awarded a local or federal contract are:

(i) Prestige: You can tout in all of your marketing material that you are a vendor with a local or federal agency. Just that alone can get you jobs.

(ii) You’re Vetted: Many times, once prospective clients (eg, banks and realtors) know that you are a vendor with a state or federal agency, they know you have all the proper credentials. Hence, you’re already vetted — and trusted.

(iii) Eligible to Bid on & Land Lucrative Government Contracts: Obviously, this is the leading benefit of registering with your local housing authority and HUD. You’re elgible to bid on a lot of contracts that are available. Even landing one can keep a small or mid-sized company busy for months (or years), depending on what the contract is for and how long it is.

(iv) Chance to Grow Quick: As mentioned above, even landing one contract can catapult your small or medium-sized business to the next level. Proof?
