Vacant, foreclosed homes have a negative impact on neighborhoods and communities. Banks and other mortgage lenders frequently want to get these properties sold as soon as possible. Because of the nature of foreclosure, it is often necessary to remove the gomes possessions and debris left behind by the property’s previous owner. If you are in the cleaning or junk removal industry, foreclosure cleanout contracts can be a lucrative revenue stream. When a property owner is unable to make his or her mortgage payments, banks have the option of foreclosing the mortgage, evicting the owner or his or her tenants and taking possession of the home or building. After the eviction, it is then up to the lender to sell the home to someone. In an ideal situation, lenders and property owners work together to make the foreclosure and eviction process run smoothly.
