You want to get the fastest money? And without any hard attempts? In here, if you want it, you can try to be a vacation house watcher. This job will lead you to make regular visits to a vacant home to check on doors, windows, heating and plumbing systems, collect mail or packages, and make the home appear occupied. In this job, you also should contact the homeowner in the event of an emergency, or arrange for emergency service without further authorization, if necessary.
In order to start this service as the business, you can post ads and business cards in community centers, stores, and newspapers. Ask friends and family to let others know of your availability. Ask for referrals from satisfied clients. Collect references from satisfied customers. Besides that, you also should think about the up-front expenses. The principal up-front expense is advertising. You will be reimbursed by your client for any out-of-pocket expenses.
House watchers would likely charge an hourly rate for visits to the house. If the location is at some distance from your own home, you can ask for reimbursement for mileage, or request payment for your time in driving to the client’s property. The best arrangement is advance payment for expected time, plus an agreement for payment for unanticipated time and expense in case of an emergency. Your agreement should specifically state that the client will directly pay any outside contractors, such as plumbers, electricians, or carpenters, who come to the house for emergency services. But, you have to discuss your job with the attorney any prior legal problems you may have encountered, and seek advice about whether they need to be disclosed to clients.
