[F] Yes I was wondering what does it take to get licensed , bonded and insured to start a foreclosure cleaning up?

My friend and I were interested in start a business cleaning out foreclosed homes... Who do we talk to about licensed, and getting bonded? We are in Las Vegas Nevada...

Hi, desertchik555!

Around where I live and work, a person doesn't have to be licensed to do that kind of work. Contacting city officials where you'll be wanting to work would be a way to find out about that.

Concerning being bonded, probably not necessary. It isn't necessary around here. Again, speaking with city officials would be the thing to do. If it is necessary for you to be bonded, then a full-service insurance agent should be able to help you with that and also the liability insurance that you'll need.

I get calls and emails from companies wanting me to work for them doing what you're wanting to do because of all the free ads that I've placed on the Internet for my business.

If you would like to know how to advertise for free on the Internet so that you'll get the best exposure when people go searching for what you do, please let me know.

An outfit that you might want to look at as an example to follow, also get some ideas and maybe even contact for possible employment would be Field Asset Services. The link for them is HERE.

Also, we don't operate outside of the threads with exchanges of information, especially after a thread has been started. So, your personal email address will soon be removed. I also would hate to see you get spammed because your email address was so visible here.

Thanks!
