First off your going to have to have a million $ liability insurance. You can get for around $500 a year.
You need to write up a proposal of a price per yard up to a acre grass up to one foot tall them how much per foot over one foot tall.

How much per first cut and bush trimming. Then how much per biweekly cut.

And realize your not going to get full price for these yards.
I have contracts with banks they pay me $35 per yard and I sub them out at $25 does not sound like a lot of money but at 200 yards a week it adds up fast

Most banks or realty co are going to pay 30 to 45 days after you bill them

Your right most the time the first cuts are over grown. I have guys that sub from me and get to a yard with 4 foot weeds and can not cut it with there ZT. I go out there with my 1998 MTD garden tractor and can cut the acre in a hour with no clumps of grass left
I have hit bricks, car parts anything you can think of and have broke and bent blades. But have never broke the deck or spindle. A lot of guys use old craftsman mowers because the spindles only cost $15 and the deck belt and pulleys are set up where it will not slip in tall grass

I would look for someone with a bush hog and sub it out. Not much money in it but sometimes worth it in equipment breakdown costs. It's much faster and safer too. Usually we take a walk about the property to inspect for boulders, holes, car parts and junk people dispose of in tall grass or weeds. Good luck !

If you're an independent I Personally wouldn't mess with a real estate because you'll never make any type of money. There accounts will be so far spread that you'll most likely use up any profits in gas.

General liability insurance min. Policy price has been 750.00 per year for over 20 years so how do you buy any policy for 500. Plus you get audited every year.

They audit your books end of year and charge you final amount based on dollar volume no insurance companies here will write without 750. Down I have shopped policies almost every year for 25 years
