Got another one for you-that you could maybe even take your child with you to. Type up a brochure and take it personally to as many realtors and builders that you can. Mail to the rest. In your brochure, describe how you will clean their vacant newly built homes before they are listed on the market. You provide the cleaning supplies and vacumme. Advertise how you will clean the inside windows, wipe down appliances, clean floors, fixtures...
A guy at our church does this (he is a builder). He pays $20 an hour. His normal house takes 2-3 hours to clean. Mainly its dirt workmen have tracked in, sheetrock dust, and windows that need to be scraped, tubs/showers/toilets that need to be cleaned. Sometimes he also pays to rake, mow...before it is listed as well. He said the couple that he has now do it during the night. Its a mess when he leaves the house keys with them the last day of construction, and clean the next morning at 8am. There is no furniture in the way, so it goes quickly.
