I used to weight 270+ lbs of complete chunk, and one day was just fed up with it.

It's tougher now that the grass is going dormant.

As an investor, I start with, 'Does the rental income cover the mortgage payment, property tax and a little bit left over for maintenance, grass cutting, and vacancy periods?'

There’s no doubt the market is very over-bought in many locales, but many investors are looking at the Fed’s response to inflation.

The 1400 sq ft single family home next to our primary has been a rental for the last 8 years or so and part of a large portfolio with a professional management company and their tactic is to professionally landscape once yearly and put grass and snow removal on the tenants, so I know it's done both ways locally.

Say ‘Hi’ to someone walking their dog or mowing their grass and let them know you’re thinking of moving onto the block.”And think about your lifestyle.

If the tenant would like someone to cut the grass, just add it to the lease and charge them for it. 

Mortgage rates are still at an all time low and after the FEDs meeting may drop a bit this month. 

She started making some side comments about hoping we will keep the grass cut, this is a nice neighborhood, things like that.

And landscaping, planting and seeding grass will have to wait.
