Sometimes asking tenant to rake leaves is too much

[Matthew Paul]

I have 2 properties side by side , sitting on a acre and a half . Large mature oaks around house and woods all around . These properties , its too much to have the tenant rake leaves .  

It use to take me and a guy 3 days to do 1 clean up . I had to do it twice .  Now 4 years ago I got estimates from landscapers to do the clean up and they wanted $3500 each time to clean and haul out .  ( way too much )  I knew there had to be an easier way .  I saw a tractor with a blower at a golf course and that was the ticket . I bought a tractor and found a blower on Marketplace . Have about $35K in the equipment . But it saves me time and money . Each of these piles was 3 hours work . Bonus is I use it at all of my properties . Plus I use it on jobsites .

These were 2 different days , a bit over a week apart .

Sometimes you have to spend money to save money . These were done by 1 man in 3 hours each time . Leaves were then piled in the woods to rot .
