I own a bunch of rental properties.
They all are within a ten minute drive of my house.
When I had three or four properties it wasn’t a big deal. Every two weeks I would do a lawn day. It was one day of yard work. I would do all the lawn mowing, trimming, edging and lawn care. In the winter time I would do snow plowing. Well then my properties turned to seven or eight. Then it started to be really difficult 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 day. I didn’t want to spend most of my work day cutting grass 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 spring to cut the grass, trim the trees and clean up around my rentals. During the summer when it rains and the grass grows quicker, they come every week. In the wintertime the same landscaping company does snow removal services every week. It is nice that I no longer get phone calls from my tenants complaining about grass or snow. I check in every now and then and take a look at hte properties. They look great! Everything is all streamlined, clean and professional looking. 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.
