I want to start up a foreclosure/ flipping property preservation debris removal service for investors.

A few weeks ago I posted in the forums and got some great ideas from other members about ways to make money and learn the trade. I think starting up a company removing debris and cleaning out foreclosed properties or vacant properties to be flipped by investors in my area would be something I would really be interested in. 

I would probably need a contractor's license? I wouldn't mind that as I could actually learn more about construction which could further my RE career. 

I would also be interested in commercial properties. 

What should I be looking out for and planning for in this type of business? Do you think it would be a worthwhile venture- why or why not?

@Rob Beland Yeah, mostly trash, junk removal. I've been looking for other companies that do this as a way to get my foot in the door. Still trying to find my way in to REI.
