Scottsdale, Ariz. – August 30, 2010 – In a recent article by Frank Patrick, one of the country’s top property preservation and trash out experts, Frank writes that with the start of summer, foreclosure lawns are turning to jungles, causing these properties to become an eyesore in many American neighborhoods.

In the article titled “Foreclosure Trash Outs: When Lawns Turn To Jungles,” Frank describes how overgrown lawns on REO properties in Florida, Missouri and Illinois, among others, are generating numerous complaints from neighborhood residents.  These areas are experiencing the same problem that other cities all across America are dealing with – finding the responsible party for foreclosed homes that are in limbo.

“Many lenders are delaying foreclosures to allow the borrower time to apply for a loan modification or attempt a short sale.  Many times the borrower simply gives up during the process and abandons the home.  It is during this period of time in which the home is not yet foreclosed on and the borrower is not caring for it that the lawns get out of control. Many in the industry speculate that some lenders are procrastinating when it comes to foreclosing on these properties even after they know that the borrower has given up and has no intention of continuing to maintain the property.   Since the owner has abandoned the property and the lender has not taken it back, the grass and weeds grow out of control.  But blaming the banks is far from the whole answer – the unprecedented flood of foreclosures has left them overwhelmed,” wrote Frank Patrick.

“Once a property preservation company has been hired to perform a foreclosure trash out, they usually have the added responsibility of regularly mowing the lawn and maintaining the home to the local housing codes. This enables the home to keep up appearances and prevents the appearance of a whole neighborhood falling into disrepair,” Frank continued.

Frank’s nationwide franchise, REORESQ™, is helping entrepreneurs all across the country start up and successfully operate property preservation franchises.  Frank believes that 2010 will provide incredible opportunities for field service companies, property preservation contractors, and trash out businesses.

In addition to being the founder of the property preservation franchise REO RESQ™, Frank Patrick is also the founder of American Society of REO Specialists™ (ASREOS). Patrick was recently featured in Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today for his expertise and success in the REO Sales and REO agent training industry.

Scottsdale, Ariz. – August 27, 2010 – In a recent article by Frank Patrick, one of the country’s top property preservation and trash out experts, Frank writes that with foreclosures hitting another record high in May2010, REO (Real Estate Owned) homes are causing a huge demand for property preservation services.  The summer months also help cause a greater need for these services – specifically when it comes to overgrown lawns and neglected swimming pools.

In the article titled “Foreclosure Trash Outs: Problem Pools,” Frank describes how neglected swimming pools on REO properties are creating a neighborhood health and safety hazard that becomes markedly worse in the hot summer months.  “Unfortunately, because there are still so many homes in limbo all across America – the residents have left, but the banks have yet to officially foreclose – tens of thousands of swimming pools aren’t attended to,” remarked Frank.

Frank writes, “The biggest problem, perhaps, is being able to locate these vacant homes to attend to these recurring and dangerous problems. The processing time for foreclosures is becoming increasingly longer, due to the record-setting numbers, and that means more and more homes are “off the radar.”

“The immediate need for property preservation companies to perform foreclosure trash outs and other vital tasks such as pool maintenance is obvious. Demand for these companies is already at an all-time high and a proven lucrative career choice in these tough economic times,” Frank continued.

Frank’s nationwide franchise, REORESQ™, is helping entrepreneurs all across the country start up and successfully operate property preservation franchises.  Frank believes that 2010 will provide incredible opportunities for field service companies, property preservation contractors, and trash out businesses. Frank and his brother, Scott Patrick, have already trained many franchisees in foreclosure trash outs and launched incredibly successful property preservation careers for people who had never done that kind of work before.

In addition to being the founder of the property preservation franchise REO RESQ™, Frank Patrick is also the founder of American Society of REO Specialists™ (ASREOS). Patrick was recently featured in Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today for his expertise and success in the REO Sales and REO agent training industry.

Scottsdale, Ariz. – July 14, 2010 – In a recent article by Frank Patrick, one of the country’s top property preservation and trash out experts, Frank discusses how a new initiative by national property management company, Safeguard, is helping property preservation contractors combat neighborhood blight caused by foreclosures.

In the article titled “Foreclosure Trash Outs: Just Like A Good Neighbor,” Frank describes how neighborhoods that have experienced multiple foreclosures have suffered declines in property values and quality of living, due to these vacant homes falling into disrepair and becoming unsightly and unsafe.  “Even homes that have been secured by property preservation companies can still end up being vandalized or become targets for arson or copper pipe theft,” remarked Frank.  Frank explains how Safeguard is providing neighbors of vacant homes with contact information via door hangers, where they can easily report illegal activity or maintenance problems.

“The correlation between vacant properties and criminal activity has been well documented in communities nationwide,” says Safeguard.  “This ripple effect drastically reduces the servicer’s collateral in their assets and wreaks havoc on the communities where the properties exist.”

“By being a good neighbor, property preservation specialists can both help communities stay safe during this continuing foreclosure crisis, as well as and increase their business.  That’s a big win-win for all concerned,” Frank Patrick wrote.

“This, of course, also means a great deal more opportunity for companies that perform foreclosure trash outs – as property preservation is increasingly seen as the biggest foreclosure business opportunity.   Profits for these companies, both big and small, continue to increase nationwide,” continued Frank.

Frank’s nationwide franchise, REORESQ™, is helping entrepreneurs all across the country start up and successfully operate property preservation franchises.  Frank believes that 2010 will provide incredible opportunities for field service companies, property preservation contractors, and trash out businesses.

Scottsdale, Ariz. – July 6, 2010 – In a recent article by Frank Patrick, one of the country’s top property preservation and trash out experts, Frank discusses how local lawmakers all across the country are moving to force the banks and financial institutions who are taking possession of foreclosed homes to perform the necessary property preservation services in a timely fashion.  These moves are being taken in order to prevent these foreclosed houses from taking down whole neighborhoods with them.

In the article titled “The Property Preservation Business Opportunity: Foreclosure Trash Outs Battle The Blight,” Frank describes how situations in Florida, Colorado and California, among others, are forcing local and state legislators to pass laws to help protect neighborhood property values.

“These lawmakers are not alone.  All across the country, communities are getting increasingly frustrated at trying in vain to contact huge financial institutions that are failing to keep abandoned homes in acceptable condition,” wrote Frank Patrick.

“As foreclosures continue to dominate the real estate landscape and legislators are forced to take more and more action, it’s clear that property preservation companies will be in more and more demand – even as many of them are already working 7 days a week to handle the overload of foreclosure trash outs,” Frank continued.

Frank’s nationwide franchise, REORESQ™, is helping entrepreneurs all across the country start up and successfully operate property preservation franchises.  Frank believes that 2010 will provide incredible opportunities for field service companies, property preservation contractors, and trash out businesses.

Frank Patrick, founder of foreclosure clean out and property preservation franchise REO RESQ™, writes how foreclosure trash outs continue to be a lucrative new career. 

Scottsdale, Ariz. –May 12, 2010 – In a recent article by Frank Patrick, one of the country’s top property preservation and trash out experts, Frank discusses how the demand for property preservation specialists and foreclosure trash outs will be greater than ever before.  In the article titled “The Property Preservation Business Opportunity: Foreclosures About To Skyrocket Again,” Frank describes how Start-up costs for a property preservation business are minimal, and those who receive the proper expert training can have a property preservation company up and running in a matter of weeks. 

“In the past few years, as the huge number of foreclosures broke record after record, many of those affected by unemployment and the Great Recession found a new and profitable career by beginning property preservation field services companies that serviced, secured and performed trash outs on foreclosed homes. Those people quickly found out that property preservation is the biggest foreclosure business opportunity,” wrote Frank Patrick.  

“REO sales (homes that have already gone through foreclosure) now account for almost a third (29%) of all home purchases. In places like Las Vegas, it’s almost 50%. That’s an incredible amount of homes that require property preservation services and foreclosure trash outs – as well as an incredible amount of opportunity for those willing to try the business,” Frank continued. 

Frank’s nationwide franchise, REORESQ™, is helping entrepreneurs all across the country start up and successfully operate property preservation franchises.  Frank believes that 2010 will provide incredible opportunities for field service companies, property preservation contractors, and trash out businesses.

Frank Patrick, founder of field service company and property preservation franchise REO RESQ™, writes how property preservation professionals and mortgage field service companies can help fix American neighborhoods. 

Scottsdale, Ariz. – May 6, 2010 – In a recent blog post by Frank Patrick, one of the country’s top property preservation and trashout experts, Frank discusses how foreclosed and abandoned homes are causing neighborhoods across the country are losing value, even among those homeowners who have been paying their mortgages on time.  In the blog titled “Property Preservation Trashouts: Fixing The Face of Foreclosure,” Frank describes how it’s time to put property preservation professionals and mortgage field service companies on the job to perform trashouts and necessary repairs as soon as possible to clean up the face of foreclosure. 

“2010 is going to be a very challenging year – because the incredible numbers of homes that will require property preservation services and foreclosure trashouts will undoubtedly break more records. The amount of work is going to be overwhelming. But it’s necessary.  It’s time to face the face of foreclosure. And bring pride back to the American neighborhoods that have been negatively affected by the housing crisis,” wrote Frank Patrick.  

“Because the foreclosure process was traditionally slow and cumbersome – and totally unequipped to handle the massive amount it’s been forced to digest during the Great Recession – more and more vacant homes in more and more neighborhoods have become more and more rundown and in desperate need of a trashout.” Frank continued. 

Frank’s nationwide franchise, REORESQ™, is helping entrepreneurs all across the country start up and successfully operate property preservation franchises.  Frank believes that 2010 will provide incredible opportunities for field service companies, property preservation contractors, and trash out businesses.

Frank Patrick, founder of foreclosure trash-out company and property preservation franchise REO RESQ™, writes how it is now a great time to start a property preservation company. 

Scottsdale, Ariz. – May 3, 2010 – In a recent blog post by Frank Patrick, one of the country’s top property preservation and mortgage field service experts, Frank discusses how property preservation has become one of the biggest business opportunities of the decade.  Frank explains how, in today’s economic culture, the average American worker can no longer put their faith in just being employed by big companies.  Downsizing and economic fluctuations cause the job market to be unstable at best.  However, Frank argues that this time of economic uncertainty is actually providing one of the best opportunities for people to start their own business – and a great time to make that business the property preservation business.

In the blog titled “Property Preservation: The New Business For The New Decade,” Frank describes how “in this era of record-setting home mortgage defaults, property preservation is the biggest foreclosure business opportunity in America today.” 

“The banks that end up owning foreclosed homes need them cleaned out, repaired and brought back to market quickly so they can mitigate their mortgage losses. In addition, communities and local governments are demanding that vacant homes be secured and taken care of, before they become safety and health risks, not to mention posing a threat to a neighborhood’s property values and attractiveness,” wrote Frank Patrick.  

“That means a good property preservation company ends up working around the clock to keep up with the demand. Note that I said “good” – because many untrained people are attempting to get into this business that don’t know the special demands of it. Insurance costs, licensing issues, and the expectations of the master contractors that generally hire property preservation companies are all difficult to deal with if you haven’t been educated about them.” Frank continued. 

Frank’s emphasizes how his nationwide franchise, REORESQ™, is helping entrepreneurs all across the country start up and successfully operate property preservation franchises. “Start-up is affordable, training is fast (usually two weeks) and the demand for your services will be strong,” remarks Frank. 

In addition to being the founder of the property preservation franchise REO RESQ™, Frank Patrick is also the founder of American Society of REO Specialists™ (ASREOS). Patrick has recently been featured in Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today for his expertise and success in the REO Sales and REO agent training industry.

Scottsdale, Ariz. – April 28, 2010 – In a recent blog post by Frank Patrick, one of the country’s top property preservation and trashout experts, Frank discusses how foreclosed and abandoned homes are causing neighborhood blight across the country at an alarming rate.  In the blog titled “Property Preservation: Helping Neighborhoods Recover,” Frank describes how having these foreclosed properties properly secured and maintained can make a huge difference in the safety and value of these neighborhoods.

“We all know that property preservation is the biggest foreclosure business opportunity. But it’s also the most important. As I’ve written before, property preservation helps neighborhoods be safer and more secure. Abandoned homes are currently adding to community blight all across the country,” wrote Frank Patrick.  

“The slowness of the financial institutions that own these homes to deal with them has been frustrating to cities everywhere. So they’ve tried to take matters into their own homes. Unfortunately, they’ve just replaced the bureaucratic inefficiency of these financial institutions with their own bureaucratic inefficiency,” Frank continued. 

Citing scenarios in New York City and San Francisco, Frank points out how some local governments are overwhelmed by the number of foreclosed properties and have found it extremely difficult to keep the properties maintained.  

Frank’s nationwide franchise, REORESQ™, is helping entrepreneurs all across the country start up and successfully operate property preservation franchises.  Frank believes that 2010 will provide incredible opportunities for field service companies, property preservation contractors, and trash out businesses.

In addition to being the founder of the property preservation franchise REO RESQ™, Frank Patrick is also the founder of American Society of REO Specialists™ (ASREOS). Patrick has recently been featured in Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today for his expertise and success in the REO Sales and REO agent training industry.

Frank Patrick, founder of field service company and property preservation franchise REO RESQ™, writes how men can take advantage of the latest property preservation business opportunity, during the “Mancession.” 

Scottsdale, Ariz. – March 29, 2010 – In a recent article by Frank Patrick, one of the country’s top property preservation and mortgage field service experts, Frank discusses how unemployment in America is hitting working age men particularly hard.  Economists have termed this current recession as a “Mancession.”  In the article titled “A Solution to the Mancession: The Property Preservation Business Opportunity,” Frank describes how one of the hottest job categories right now is property preservation.  Frank believes that 2010 will provide incredible opportunities for field service companies, property preservation contractors, and trash out businesses.

“Property preservation – also known as mortgage field services – involves performing foreclosure trash outs, repairs and doing ongoing maintenance, and is truly the biggest business opportunity in this climate of ever-increasing home foreclosures,” wrote Frank Patrick.  

“The foreclosure situation, like the unemployment problem, is not expected to improve soon. As a matter of fact, the rising joblessness is helping to continue to fuel foreclosures – experts predict over 10 million of them over the next 2 years, an incredibly high figure,” Frank continued. 

Frank Patrick also emphasizes how his nationwide franchise, REORESQ™, is helping entrepreneurs all across the country start up and successfully operate property preservation franchises. “A lot of expensive equipment is not required – just a truck and some common tools get the job done,” remarked Frank. 

In addition to being the founder of the property preservation franchise REO RESQ™, Frank Patrick is also the founder of American Society of REO Specialists™ (ASREOS). Patrick has recently been featured in Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today for his expertise and success in the REO Sales and REO agent training industry.

Frank Patrick, founder of mortgage field service and property preservation franchise REO RESQ™, writes how foreclosure clean out jobs continue to increase, making property preservation one of the hottest business opportunities around. 

Scottsdale, Ariz. – March 22, 2010 – Frank Patrick, one of the country’s top property preservation and mortgage field service experts, recently penned an article explaining why property preservation will continue to be the biggest foreclosure business opportunity around – and will grow even faster in the months to come.  In the article titled “The Property Preservation Business Opportunity: 6 Reasons Why It’s Hotter Than Ever,” Frank discusses how it’s easy and fast to get into the business, how banks have a huge ‘shadow inventory’ of foreclosed homes and how the foreclosure rate will continue to rise.

“If you live near a high-foreclosure area, you will find yourself in immediate demand if you establish yourself as a professional, responsible property preservation company. That comes from having the proper training – and once the national master contractors who hire mortgage field service companies are aware of your reputation, you could find yourself working from Sunday through Saturday if you want, just to handle all the properties that require servicing,” wrote Frank Patrick.  

“Once you learn the basics from a trained professional, foreclosure trash-outs are easy – and you can also hire and train additional crews to do your work for you and expand your business quickly.  What makes all the difference is having the proper training to successfully start a property preservation business,” Frank continued.

Frank Patrick also emphasizes how his nationwide franchise, REORESQ™, is helping entrepreneurs all across the country start up and successfully operate property preservation franchises.  Founded with his brother Scott, they have already trained many franchisees and launched incredibly successful property preservation careers for people who had never done that kind of work before. 

In addition to being the founder of the property preservation franchise REO RESQ™, Frank Patrick is also the founder of American Society of REO Specialists™ (ASREOS). Patrick has recently been featured in Newsweek, The Wall Street Journal and USA Today for his expertise and success in the REO Sales and REO agent training industry.
