Hi Jennifer,

It appears your question was lost in the shuffle. I have a friend who started a business just like this. Many Cities have Codes on the books that address minimum standards when it comes to the housing community. My friend started out by attending the local City Council meetings. When the Public opinion period came up he stood up and asked the Council if there were minimum standards or codes on the books with regards to homeowners keeping up their properties. The Council said yes. He pointed out all of the bank owned properties whos yards were overgrown and dead. He mentioned that he started a management company for the purpose of taking care of such properties. He pointed out that the City could hire his company to take care of the homes and then a bill could be assesed to the homeowner. The City liked his idea and signed a contract with his comany for 2,000 homes at $100.00 a month for each home. His company will make over $200K in it's first year of business! Goes to show if you have the right mindset, and your're not afraid to take a chance success is waiting for you! Good luck

Matt
