"I've been so busy doing foreclosures, I've felt like quitting [the clinic], and doing it full time," Correa says. "Somebody's got to do it."

In the last year and a half, Correa says he's learned a lot about the foreclosure market. He has even thought about getting his real estate license and selling the foreclosed homes after he clears them out.

But for now, Correa says, he'll stick with his moneymaker — cleaning out a foreclosed home and leaving it behind, quick to move on to the next.

"Foreclosures have been around forever, but it's such a big business now," Correa says. "This is the time."

We started our Foreclosure Clean out business about a year ago when I was laid off, we have become extremely busy and so very glad we started this business. Here are the best resources we found online: http://www.listbankrepos.com They have a step by step foreclosure cleanout business start up training guide, it is very good, we used it and started getting work almost immediately. http://www.foreclosurecleanupnetwork.com We belong to the Foreclosure Cleanup Network, it's the #1 social network for the foreclosure clean out property preservation industry. There are alot of Reo agents on this site you can connect with to get work from too. The other good place you will want to make sure you are listed in is the Foreclosure Cleanup Directory, http://www.foreclosurecleanupdirectory.com They have the main directory of property preservation foreclosure cleanup vendors, and most of the banks use this site to find and locate new foreclosure clean out vendors. You will be missing out on alot of foreclosure cleanup jobs if you are not listed on this site.

The gay, lesbian or bisexual problem is always a hot social problem. Whether it is solved well concerns the peace of a country. As we know, many violence, prejudice, hate crime often happen. Actually, most countries didn't make it legal yet. However, i think some online service may be a good way for GLBT, They may come here to come out without letting others know. I know some sites of this kind like BiLoves.com. They are providing a good and friendly environment for them.

There's no vomiting in the foreclosure home junk-hauling bidness!
