How many of y’all have someone else mow your yards.?
I have a pretty good size yard, probably 2 of my 5 acres are yard or landscaped area. It takes me 5 plus hours to pushmow zero turn mow, weedeat, edge, blow and put everything back in the SheShed. Ever since the heat stroke it’s just not fun any more. In the 9 years since I built the house, I’ve paid to have it mowed 3x (due to hip and shoulder surgeries). I believe it was $100-$125 (when it got high one time). I’m just debating hiring one of my buddies to do it every 10 days or so. He’d do a good job.
Here’s a crazy kicker though, I have between 3 and 8 investment properties at any given time I’m working on at different stages (before I sell/finance or rent them out). I think nothing of loading up the Dixie Chopper and the rest of stuff and going and taking care of them. And I could 100% pay (expense) the mowing of those through the LLC if I wasn’t so tight. Honestly I just think those properties don’t have to be at the same level I want my personal home at.
Would I be financially foolish to start hiring out my personal yard while still taking care of the investment properties? Yes I can probably expense out my house yard if I wanted to…
