Learn the property preservation business from someone who actually runs one.

Real, current field training from Angela J. Thompson — two decades in property preservation, REO, and federal contracting. No recycled classroom fluff. Just what the work actually takes.

Why this is different

Most "training" is years behind the work orders you'll actually get.

This isn't that.

Every lesson comes from real jobs — initial secures, winterizations, trash-outs, conveyance standards, and getting paid — taught by someone still doing the work at a national level.

Whether you're leaving a job, coming out of the trades, or steering a young person toward a real skill instead of debt, this is a path into a business that isn't going anywhere.

The honest comparison

There are people charging $400 for two or three hours of outdated classroom time. Here you get current, field-tested training — starting at $47.

Choose your path

Four ways in. Start small, go as far as you want.

What you'll learn

The whole business — start to scale.

Getting in

How the industry is structured, business setup and legal, getting vendor-approved, pricing your services, and reading and managing work orders.

Initial secures and boarding, lawn and exterior, debris removal and trash-outs, winterization, conveyance standards, electrical, pool, pest, and rehab work orders.

Running the business

Photo documentation, crew management, quality control and dispute response, getting paid, and scaling up.

Bigger money

Hotels, apartments and commercial facilities, school district and municipal contracts, and an on-ramp into government contracting.

Your credential

Finish a course, earn your Certificate of Completion.

Proof you've done the training — ready to show the vendors and clients you want to work with.

This is a Certificate of Completion demonstrating you finished the training. It is not a government-issued license.

Questions

Good to know before you start.

Do I need experience?

No. You start at Chapter 1 and build from the ground up.

How long do I have access?

You'll have access for the full term of your enrollment. (Confirm exact terms at checkout.)

Is this a license or a certification?

It's a Certificate of Completion showing you've completed the training. It is not a government-issued license.

What's the difference between Core and Live?

Core is fully self-paced on your schedule. Live adds real-time Zoom sessions with Angela, so you can bring your actual work orders and questions.
