If you are unemployed
If you have Lawn care equipment (lawnmower, weed eater, blower, truck or trailer) and have or can afford a business license, then search for any Property Preservation companies in your area. In my area a business license is 20 bucks

The work is performing Lawn care on foreclosed homes for the banks. It is your own business so you have to take care of the taxes. It is seasonal, but most of the companies will also have winterizations and other types of maintenance jobs throughout the year.

In my area they usually put adds on Craigslist in the labor section.

The company I get my orders through paid 36 for a new yard cut, and 25 for a re-cut. If you are unable to cut the yard, like it was to short, or it was still occupied, you get a trip charge (10 bucks for the company i go through) and if it is over a foot tall you bid it.

Look for them. You can make pretty good money.

Gas and taxes are your responsibility.

Forgot to say, there are no drug test, no background checks, and no credit checks. Most companies will give you as many orders as you want to do.

I usually average 15 to 20 houses per day. The season officially starts tomorrow.

I think you could also contact the REO (Real Estate Owned) person at local banks to talk about helping the bank keep it's properties in good condition until they are sold. And you could call large and small Real Estate brokers who also are trying to sell properties that have been repossessed or abondoned...

Yes, you could. In most areas however, the banks have a deal cut with the Property Preservation companies, who then need sub-contractors (you and me).

This person has good point, I forgot that REO is one of the terms used, so google that as well.

Re: If you are unemployed
Around here lawn care companies are a dime a dozen and many of them are losing clients who cannot afford someone else to do the chore of mowing their postage stamp 'lawn'.

Thus these companies are flooding the market for the banks.

Most likely most areas are looking at a similar situation.

I agree, lawn care companies are going out of business because homeowners can barely afford to stay in their homes, let alone pay someone else to mow their lawn.

PP and REO is done on foreclosed homes, and there is no shortage of those. I used to do work for homeowners, but I have completely stopped doing that type of work.

Re: If you are unemployed
I cleaned houses and did home daycare for a long time until I found work. This is a great option for people who don't mind cleaning and/or are good with kids. In my state, all you need is a background check and take a class on infant and child CPR and have a county worker verify your home is safe for kids and get your cert. and license. You can keep a maximum of four kids. At $75 per week per child in a military town, you make some decent money. I'd go back to it in a heartbeat if I ever lose this chill gig I have now.
