With the incredible economic hit, which the United States received in late 2008, we saw not only the housing market bubble burst but it sent shock waves around the world. Interestingly enough, it is not as if no one saw this one coming, as anyone who'd been in real estate in 1993 and lived to tell about it knew darn good and well what was about to happen.

Indeed, you wouldn't have had to read; "The Coming Crash in the Housing Market; 10-Things You Can Do Now to Protect Your Most Valuable Investment," by John R. Talbott in 2003 or 2004 to have known that. And so anytime anywhere near 2008 would have definitely been the wrong time to go into the house or home maintenance business.

Nevertheless, things are now on the mend, and all those foreclosures need to be sold so that the inventory moves to a more manageable place, before home prices will start ratcheting back up again. Perhaps, this recession has taken its toll on yourself and your family, and maybe you have lost your job and now want to start your own business?

If so, maybe you should start a house cleaning and washing business; that is to say and exterior pressure washing. With a business like this you'll have many customers including banks, real estate professionals, contract painters, and even homeowners.

Houses that are dirty will not sell, and pressure washing a home is one of the easiest ways to make it look good again. Generally you can charge between $350-$600 for a single story home, and if you do good with your marketing, you should be busy each and every day. With one other helper, it is quite conceivable that you could do one home per day that you work. Please consider this.
