I own a bunch of rental properties, however they all are within a ten minute drive of my house.
When I had three or four properties it wasn’t a crucial deal.
Every two weeks I would do a lawn afternoon, it was one afternoon of yard work. I would do all the lawn mowing, trimming, edging and lawn care. In the winter time time I would do snow plowing. Well then my properties turned to seven or eight. Then it started to be absolutely hard to do my yard work… Once I hit ten properties I started looking into commercial lawn care services. I no longer was able to do it all in one afternoon. I didn’t want to spend most of my work afternoon cutting lawn or removing snow. Having commercial lawn care services is amazing. I now don’t worry about anything. They come every other week in the fall and Springtime to chop the lawn, trim the trees and wash up around my rentals, and during the Summer when it rains and the lawn grows quicker, they come every week. In the wintertime the same landscaping contractor does snow removal services every week. It is nice that I no longer get iphone calls from my renters complaining about lawn or snow. I check in every now and then and take a look at hte properties. They look great! Everything is all streamlined, wash and professional looking, however now I can spend my time looking for other investments rather than riding a mower; My time is worth so much to me that I no longer need to do manual labor.
