Investor/Entrepreneur Seeking Advice On Start Up And References
Hi everyone I am a new investor but I am also in the process of setting up a residential cleaning business. I plan on going to my local REIA and trying to build my clientele there; I am wondering on who all I should target for my cleaning business? Should I just run around to every realtor office in my area and hand out business cards? What are some common services needed through a cleaning company in the real estate world? Is there a fair common price per sq ft? Any advice would be appreciated. I might've left some points out that I might not even know of. I am planning on doing my first flip soon and would like to have this extra income to help build my capital here in the beginning of my journey. Thanks!

Hi @Andrew Martin, not sure what your business model is but wanted to let you know that I work for a real estate investment brokerage and PM company...we have about 500 multifamily residential units under management. Most of them are duplexes, quads, some SFHs, and just a few larger-unit complexes, a 12- and a 22-unit building. It is very hard to find reliable cleaners for tenant turnovers. We're not a mega management company with a contract with a mega cleaning company; we hire mostly solo and small business cleaners, because we are a small business. If you have any interest in that area for your business, you can check out what the market for cleaners for small-medium property management companies is like in your area, and whether it would be a good niche for you. Maybe call a few PM companies and ask around. My two cents. Good luck!
