Those other senior communities do not own their lawns (even though they act like they do). Usually they own only what's inside the paint on their home, sometimes they have a little 3-5' boundary. In any case, I have been maintaining senior communities for 40+ years. No way am I taking on a couple hundred individuals with nothing but time to complain. Just do the math. What'll they pay? $20-$30 per mow? To outfit a crew with a truck, trailer, large mower, small mower, edger, trimmers and blowers is over $100K. I can take that $100k and make more money buying a 5% bond, and I don't have the headaches.
