Here is a work opportunity that will always be in demand, no matter where you live. In almost any town of any country in the world, you will find apartments or even temporary housing. The problem for property owners is that apartments require constant cleaning and repairing due to the number of tenants that are moving in and out. This creates an awesome opportunity for you to start a home-based apartment recondition business.

As an apartment recondition business consultant your job is to come in and access what should be cleaned, repaired and even replaced to get the housing back in shape and suitable for new tenants. The real advantage for the property owners is that an apartment that looks great will be able to be rented out a lot faster and for more money. No owner wants to keep any available space open for any period. Each day the apartment is not occupied is a lost day of revenue.

To get started you should first build a list of tasks that you can do and associate a price with each. If you list that, you can clean carpets, and then have a price for each room you will clean, or a price for the whole apartment. You should do this for all tasks. Your tasks could be, carpet cleaning, general room cleaning, wall painting, appliance repair, plumbing repair, tiling, and grout cleaning. These are just some of the tasks you could sell as services.

If you are unable to actually perform some of the work yourself, you could subcontract out the work to a professional contractor. You can either charge the contractor a business finders commission or just simply negotiate with the contractor to perform a particular piece of work for a set fee, you then charge the property owners a little more than you are paying the contractor.
After you have designed your pricing schedule, you should make some brochures explaining what you do and how you can help property owners get their properties ready for tenants. When those are ready, you should personally visit property managers in your area. I believe that it is best to personally hand deliver your brochures so that the managers can meet you. If you mail them, more than likely, the brochures will land up in the landfill and you will have wasted your startup investment. If you want some consistent exposure you could run a cheap classified ad in the local newspaper, these tend to be cost-effective when run for long periods.

I hope that this article will have been helpful to you in your desire to start a home based business. Good luck.
