Stay away from safeguard or any bank owned properties, it may look like promising work but you will start too loose money quick , I used to work for Central Valley mortgage services and they currently work for safeguard, they just recently started having half days for all employees. I figure the only way you could survive is to be good at negotiating with your higher up( banks usually hire companies that can manage a lot of properties- many subcontractors in different states,) so only use this kind of work to keep your employees busy
