Some home watch service. $65. I've not found one that is over $100. I used "Affordable Home Watch". $65/month.
Lawn mowing: $65
Weed spraying, fertilizer: $85
Gas if you have natural gas appliances: $20-50
Electric: $35-60
Even at the high end, your number added to $8880 annually. That is a far cry from Dr.Hitch's post of $35,000 !!!
