Because many of you have asked what a real trashout looks like on a foreclosed property PRIOR to being completed, I decided to make this short video for you of a foreclosed property that we will be cleaning in my local real estate market.
MAKE SURE to leave a comment below and let your voice be heard!
Hello Anthony, I have been looking at getting your system for a few months now. This video was great and very helpful in my decision on getting into this type of business. I have a ton of questions and can’t wait to start!!!
Robert
The video was good. What I am wondering about is I live where there are very few people and don’t know if I would get enough work..What about insurances and permits?
Cathy
Cathy,
Thanks for the kind words. As far as you being from a small town, this is something you may want to look into to see what the foreclosed property rate is. However, I have seen many people excel in the foreclosure cleaning business, from very small towns by being open to expanding their coverage area to an hour to an hour and a half outside of their area…. and trust me, once you get going, you will understand why it is worthwhile.
As far as permits and insurance go… Your will need general liability and you can check your city’s webpage to see if you will need any type of permits to start cleaning foreclosed homes in your areas.
Anthony
Robert,
Thanks for the kind words and I ‘m looking forward to hearing about all your success in the foreclosure cleaning business implementing the TrashOut Cash Training System
Anthony
The video was pretty good. I would like to see a video of a total property preservation. I know a little about the biz; I perform mortgage field inspections. I am looking to join you on the preservation side of the business.
Hey Anthony-
Thanks for the video. That was a great idea!
Just wondering if getting all of the “trash out” is all there is to it or if you negotiate to do the cleaning and lawn maintenance as well.
Also, I saw in a report on the trash out business that the law requires the items to be put out at the street for 24 hrs. Does that only include the furniture? Seems like most of the stuff in your video (other than the remodeling supplies) was trash. And how would you determine that? What happens after the 24 hrs?
Thanks!

Annette,
Thanks for the comment.
In the trashout business, everything (Debris/trash etc) goes unless deemed to be personals. The only way to know if the item falls into this category when trashing out and cleaning the foeclosure is to contact the company or entity that is providing the work and they decide weather the item in the forclosed property is considered personals or not. It is never advisable to leave anything at the curb unless it is approved in the city ordinance snd id sn eviction.
The cleaning and lawn maintenence etc are almost always included with the trashout.
-Anthony
John,
Thanks for the comment.
I may be adding bits at a time of examples of other services in the property preservation field on trashouts and foreclosure cleaning. Keep an eye out.
Happy to see you’re thinking of taking advantage of the huge opportunity right now in the trashout business.
What is the “average” charge for doing a trashout? I know the prices can vary, but what is the average?
I just got your program and yes this video was helpful because it legitimizes what you are saying about the potential. I’ve already seen several properties like this on my work orders in 2 wks. time. Keep leading we are listening
Your video was very helpful. I am getting into the foreclosure/property preservation business, but I am a little confused on the bidding. How do you charge? We also do the cleaning, and lawn. I am always on the internet trying to get some information on how to bid, and what i should charge, but everybody want you to purchase a video for charge. Anthony can you please give me some answers as well as advise. Thanks a million for you video.
Hey, the video was fantastic! I have been thinking about getting into your system for a few weeks now, Im pretty sure my area has tons or foreclosure work, my only concern is insurances, permits and ACTUALLY GETTING the contracts to do the work over competitors, being that I would be the new guy.
I worked with a friend doing trash outs and evictions for a few years. I really did love my work. It was exciting, never boring. Each place you went to was a new chalenge. I would like very much to get back into this, but as the boss this time. I am a 62 year old woman and I have a few medical problems.I also have 5 grandsons that have worked with me on occasion. We hope to get your program and get started very soon.
Thanks
Linda in South Carolina
Would you throw out all of the remodeled supplies there or would you contract out to finish the job and use those supplies/
Thank you.
Connie
Connie,
Regarding items and supplies such as these found in this foreclosed property, they ended up being deemed by the work order provider as personals and so we had to handle them a little differently.
You would only have the option of completing the remodel if you were instructed to do so, or requested to be one to bid it. In this case, we just cleaned the foreclosure and finished the trashout.
Anthony
Linda,
I am sorry to hear about your medical problems. Keep you head up and the faith strong!
Yes! The foreclosure cleaning trashout business is very exciting. This is one of the reasons I love it soo much.
Congratulations on deciding to get back into the foreclosure cleaning industry. It is a perfect time to do so.
We see A LOT of trashout businesses turning into family businesses. This is awesome to see because there are alot of people out there that without the trashout business may not have a job.
I’m looking forward to working with you and hearing about all your success.
Anthony
Herc,
Congratulations on making the decision to take action and start your own foreclosure cleaning trashout business. The time is oh so right!
This trashout business is FAR from slowing down anytime soon.
Your concern about insurances and permits is nothing to worry about. Insurance is easy to get once you know where to get it and permits are usually not required for the work we do with trashouts. (However, you can do aquick search on your city’s webpage to be sure).
Being the new guy on the block right now is really an utter non issue becasue of the amounts of work available. The comapnies responsible for assigning foreclosed properties to be cleaned are looking for companies who truly understand their language.
Good luck Herc,
Anthony
Lynn,
I commend you for deciding to take action and to get into the foreclosure cleaning business. I realize that without the proper information and processes on how to get started correctly, it can be confusing… I was there once upon a time.
Without being too harsh, I want to steer you in the right direction. Once you get to know me, you’ll find that I hold nothing back because you deserve the truth about success.
Knowing what I know now and the money involved in the foreclosure cleaning trashout business, I would have paid multiple thousands of dollars for information that could of helped me cut down my learning curve. Instead of thinking in terms of what the right information may cost to get your hands on, think about all the money it’s costing you everyday that you don’t have that correct information in lost opportunity, orders etc.
With that said, all companies who assign foreclosures to be cleaned have different parameters to follow for service rates.
Keep your focus and stay the course. Your not far from the big bucks.
Anthony
Ernest,
Congratulations first off for digging right in and implementing what you are learning. 2 weeks to start receiving foreclosed properties to clean is a great feat and shows how quickly you can get up and start receiving foreclosed property work assignments.
Thanks for the kind words and keep up the great work!
I’m looking forward to hearing about all your success to come.
Anthony
Patsy,
There are many different rates involved when performing services in the foreclosure cleaning business.
It is hard to get a rock solid average, but I can tell you from our experience in performing trashouts and helping many others succeed in the trashout business that the income on average we see is between $700 to $1350.00 per forclosed property cleaning.
Anthony
The video was very informative. I have recently just got into the trashout business and everything you have said so far is absolutely correct. It is such a breath of fresh air that you would be so open with all of this information. I hope everyone who wants to get into this business follows the guidance you have been so gracious to provide. I am currently marketing my business and hope to receive orders soon. Wishing you continued success!!
Nina,
Congratulations and I am excited to see and hear about all your success.
Thank you for the kind words!
Keep focused and plugging away.
Anthony
Hi Anthony,
I just received your program so I have to plow through it to figure things out. I just started the business but no clients yet as I figure I better learn how to run the business before I contact anybody. I appreciate this video tremendousyly, but I wish you could have shown the “after” video to show what the property looked like after you cleaned it and approx. how much you charged.
Dan, Potterville, MI
Dan,
Thanks for the comment. I am thinking of adding an after video of a trashout soon, so be on the lookout. Keep up the good work.
Anthony
thanks for the video, it gives me an idea what to expect. i just got your training packet and trying to getting started, i dont have a clue and i have lots questions. thanks for all your help!!!!! please make more videos on how to board up windows and doors, winterization, drilling out locks, ect. or anything else that would help me be better at the business. tks again!!!
Great video. How do you judge how many cubic yards of trash that would equal to?
How do you know what to leave behind and what to remove?
Valinda
Hey Anthony, my wife and I are very interested in doing the trashout business in our area just for a little extra money. Your little video clip will help motivate us to try and get started even quicker. Thanks!
Randy,
Congratulations on deciding to join the trashout foreclosure cleaning business. I am very excited to hear about all of you and your wife’s success. Keep me informed.

Anthony, I have done this kind of work with a company in colorado. I have seen homes that are 10 times worse then this.
I am now starting my own business doing this but have found it is hard to find the right person to contact with getting the work.
Cindy,
Thanks for the comment. Yes, some foreclosed homes are worse than others and as a result will pay you more to complete the trashout.
Finding the right contacts is one of the biggest challenges in the foreclossure cleaning trashout business. Having the right list of contacts and even more importantly, knowing what to say and what not to say to these contacts who are responsible for assigning foreclosed homes to be cleaned, IS THE MOST important part of the process.
Anthony
Hi Anthony,
Just ordered your program today. I have been an REO agent for 3 years, and I look forward to coming over to the preservation side of the business. The advantage to this side is you get paid whether that property sells or not vs. being the agent and having deals fall through and listings expire, etc…
I am very excited to get started, and I already have many contacts in the industry, so I am hoping for a quick startup.
Can you tell me how much you charged for the trashout in the video? The highest amount paid on any of my trashouts while I was a listing agent was about $2,000, and that was a case far worse than the one you showed us in the video. Like the other commenters here, I also have concerns about how to bid on jobs, so I hope you will be addressing that in your training.
Tanks for what appears to be a great and exciting training program. I can’t wait to get started!!!!
BJ
Brenda,
Thanks for the kind words.
I am looking forward to hearing about all your success. I cannot divulge the rate for this trashout here, but would be happy to mention it on one of my PPIC calls.
I am very excited to see another REO agent join the preservation side.
Anthony
Anthony,
First of all thanks for making such a great video! My question is simple. You stated that this property would take about 6 hours to complete. How many people assisted with this trash out and how much did you charge? I am just trying to get a concrete example with price figures and time. My partners and I are planning on ordering your system after the webinar tonight 8/6.
Wiley
Wiley,
This foreclosure cleaning took about 5 1/2 hours to complete with just 2 people on the trashout etc. I cannot go into great detail here for a bunch of various reasons as to what the specifics were for compensation, but let’s just say that I made a wopping 250% profit on my investment.
Thanks for the comment.

Anthony,
Great video. In watching your video, it’s pretty obvious for one to determine what would be considered debris. But what will you do to the bed set, the wooden sofa, the corner desk and the doors inside the garage? You know….the “big stuff”. Would you have to let your REO contact know about these items and ask him/her what to do with them? Do you just consider them trash and throw them away? Do you donate them? I’ve already received your TOC Training System and I wanted to thank you for all the great information that you’ve provided on starting this business. In fact, now I’m actually paying attention to any foreclosure news or update that I happen to come across. Here’s a little “something” to put things in perspective:
“One in every 355 American homes received some form of foreclosure notice last month, either a letter of default, a scheduled auction or bank repossession.”
http://www.nydailynews.com/money/2009/08/13/2009-08-13_foreclosures_surge.html
That’s a lot of homes.
Thank you for all you do and keep up the good work.
Regards,
Alberto.
p.s.: is there anyway I could get the three “after-sale” videos on a DVD? Is there another way for me to watch them? I think they would be very helpful for a newbie like myself.
Thanks.
great video on your trashout it looks like one of mine please checkout my website anthony. and please if you can send me an email about the site if you think it needs work?
Thanks Jack!
Anthony
Hello Anthony,
I did not know there was such a business as Trachout. I knew someone had to clean these homes after they are no longer occupied. I am un-employed and I just typed cleaning foreclosed homes in my web browser and your website and others came up. I clicked on yours first and I am really impressed with what you do and how you openly share how the business works. I cannot afford the system so I will have to go the library for now and find more information. Thank you for the e-mail updates on what’s going on. I spoke with my husband about my starting this business and he said that it is not a business for a women because of the heavy equipment and all the outside lawn work that will need to be done. The workout equipment on the back of the house would be hard for me to move. Do you hire movers for things such as this. Will I have to hire a private waste management company to move the trash? This is so mething that I would really like to get involved in. Thanks for sharing what you do.
Hi Anthony.
First thanks for the e-mail updates… they are good to help procrastinators like me! I just watched your video showing the property prior to your trashout service. Thanks! I have 3 things I’d like to clear up before ordering your system.
1. I like your “personal touch” in describing your business and the trashout business in general. There are several other Foreclosure business manuals out there however and I’d like to know what makes your package superior to the others.
2. You refer to many of the items left behind as “debris” – however much of it appears to be in good shape. Do the contracts require the items to be trashed – or can they be donated – or resold?
3. On average, how long does it take to be paid by the banks and/or relators for your service?
Thanks in advance for your responses – I’m sure others may have the same questions.
Greg.
hey anthony, Im doing trash outs for a company,and will be starting my own soon. I think the best way to tell people how to doit is the way I was told. you take out every thing that that is added personal ,by the owner. make it the way it was when they bought it. dont leave anything,that was screwed in or nailed up,no hagers,or window treatments. thats the way to do the outside too. the only things that stay are plants,everything else goes,swing sets,play grounds,above ground swimming pools.the reason Im wanting to start my own business is to cut out the middle man. I do all the work and spend all the money,and only get 200.00 per house,the company gets more than me with no exspense. so will be getting your material soon. thanks ron
Ron,
Thanks for the comment.
We are looking forward to hearing about all of your big success very soon!

Anthony,
Just signed up in your program. I have been on the fence deciding if this was a profession I wanted to do. I recently have commited to start this business. I am Air Force Reserve and ready to move on and try a different career. I am also an active realtor part time and have a novis back gorund in rehabs. I did own a landscape company years ago so I have that experience as well. I enjoyed your seminar and very eager to start and get your material. Could you set up a quicker mode of shipping for those of us who would like to start immediately. This way we could have access to it quickly. I look forward to working with you. Matt
please let me know what to do when i tried to order it told me no such address and i realy wont to get the imformation package Thank you for your help
Janet Moser
Hi,
I am planning on buying your teachings and very interseted in starting my own business in a trashout for quite some time now. One thing I am 20 years old and dont think I will be taken very seriously in the business cause of my age. Will that cause me any problems with getting business at all? Also I was just interested in a part of your video above relating to the desk in one room the bed and dresser in the other. Does every item in the house go out and leave every room completly empty? I am very excited to be ordering your program and working with you to build a successful trashout business very soon!
Thanks alot,
Dan
Anthony,
It was great to see an actual house. It reminded me of a home I moved into where the prior tenants had just bailed on the landlord in the middle of the night. I ended up getting a discount for cleaning the property. Nothing compared to what I’m gonna make doing trashouts.
Just got my program, and I’m getting everything inline to get assignments THIS WEEK!!
I’m excited!
Anthony, I really have been thinking about starting this very buisness for several months now. I have looked into many programs, but have been skeptical as to which one is the best. I have been “taken advantage” of many times before. So far I am sold on your program. Do you have any encouraging words to help me get over the fence?
Dave,
Thanks for the comment.
Keep that same ambition as it will take you very far.
I am looking forward to your success,
Anthony

Chuck,
Thanks for the kind words. Getting into the foreclosure cleaning, trashout business takes some good direction and guidance.
With that said, I can only give you the bullets and help you load the gun… You’ll have to pull the trigger. Remember that it’s the ones who take action and get off of the bleachers to participate that win the game.

Hi,, i like this video and i like tha idea as well but as i found mostly this bussines is doing good in CA, what about MD, i talk to many diffrent people and everybody is keep telling me that banks here selling the houses as it!! I mean with all staff what owner left in. And i did check it. I went for some properties with realtors and the trash was inside. Thank you.
I did like the video, I would have liked to know if you keep and sell the stuff that you would throw out like the flooring of if the bank keeps it.
Thanks. Good informaiton.
Anthony, Good video. To your knowledge are there Government Contracts for this stuff available to bid on? Like HUD homes or Fannie Freddie owned properties.
Hi Anthony Iam moveing right along ive got my ein # going to call today about ins I think I have a co. name. kicking it around.just thought I would say hi. let you know I was alive and working on getting this going.Thanks soooo,much for all the info.John
Hello Mr. Simonie
So pumped up and no state offices open on the weekend bummer I have A company name picked out domain name ready to go here on saturday and have to wait till monday. Thanks for being there
Anthony,
I enjoyed your video. I am on the verge of ordering your program but would want to know what kind of guarantee would I have that I will have access to the list that will need to be cleaned? That is my only drawback. I will work exceptionally hard at this but I want to know that it is all up and up and I will get the help that I will be paying for. I already have 3 that is willing to go into business with me.
Hi Anthony
Thanks so much for the great video — it really brought it home! I’m in the process of setting up a property preservation company with a partner, and am using your system.
Thanks again for the step-by-step help.
Kay
Anthony, thanks for all the great info. We all greatly appreciate your time. I am close to jumping in to the business. I have started researching different REO companies and asset management companies as well. The only thing left is your course and some info on bidding and the paperwork.Thanks for all your time and best wishes and positive focus for everyone on here.
Tony
I REALLY ENJOY WATCHING YOUR VIDEOS. I AM THINKING ABOUT STARTING A TRASHOUT BUSINESS ALSO, I WILL KEEP WATCHING THANKS.
Love the video! Puts some things into perspective for us. I was wondering, how many people in your crew? How many crews in all do you have?
WHAT DO YOU DO WITH THE TRASH YOU REMOVE FROM THE HOMES?
Hello Anthony I have already gotten your system and have seen some of your vids and already hav E&O and liabillity Insurance and would like to thank you for the chance to learn from you i look forward to hearing from you soon
We purchased your program, submitted our resume’ to a major company- received 2 work orders the next day. BRAVO!
Hello Anthony Im really just getting everything together with getting my trashout business up and running. I have read threw the materials and committed myself with a a least working four hours a day to get my business up and running. My questions, is there a set price list you must follow when biding for jobs and is it locate in the materials or on the hud website. Again thanks for being a very informative teacher much success and see you at the top.
Tomika Johnson
THANKS FOR THE VIDEO . NOW I KNOW WHAT THIS BUSINESS IS ABOUT. I WILL DEFINATELY JOIN SOON. THANKS AGAIN.
REJOICE
Hi Anthoney,
Your constant e-mails are friendly reminders to those thinking about to get up and do something. That’s just what my brother and I had to do when we found ourselfs jobless. My question is same as others…the viedo ..do you trash out the stuff that looked useable, call the AM, deside yourself if it’s value is less than Garage sale value? and Certification? do you have to be in business more than 2yrs? Does your course have the All Important “Language”? and answers to tests? Thanks for your constant e-mails that assure we are in the right direction. Sincerly, jeffrey and Michelle
Anthony, Even though I had seen this video before, it is always a good idea aleast in my mind to recheck to see if I picked up more information off of my initial view. Thanks again.
Anthony, your video was great. My husband and I are just starting to look at the opportunities available with a trashout business venture. I’m convinced that we can do this and look forward to receiving more information from you. Thanks again.
