@Clay White When the subprime fallout happened, everyone I knew got out of real estate. So in 2008 My girlfriend I switched brokers and started working with a Broker who was connected with several BPO companies. We used to do about 5 to 10 BPO's a day. It was actually good money. I think they paid on average $50 for each exterior BPO's and closer to $80 to $100 for interior BPO's. The process was ( 1. receive orders from their online portal, 2. Map out address 3. Take pics (if interior call owner). 4. go back to office or home, upload pics and complete orders. I think We had like a 48 to 72 hour turn around to complete orders. MLS information was crucial in order to pull up actives and solds. 15 years about we averaged about $300 to $400 dollars a day in income. Alot of that was because the buy we worked for had like 10 people under him and he was connected somehow with these companies (Clear Capital & Bank of America). My advice, a car with great gas mileage, a decent camera, fast internet. 1 other thing I would say is this. Its a great way to spot opportunities that will get you listings. Pay attention to those vacant, abandoned houses or people who look like they are moving out. Great way network while you are out. I know things have changed since I last did BPO's but the thing I do remember is when you are driving to and from those BPO's you'll find other opportunities out there. Good luck with that.
