I fear that my age has caught up with me, I hit 70 this year and have been ill twice. Once with what was first called shingles... then was re diagnosed as covid. A month later another illness hit with a sore throat and laryngitis.

During all of this I have fought to keep up with the 50 plus properties that I mow each week, keep the home clean, take care of the wife and do all of the book work. On top of this I have had an on going fued with our mobile home park manager who loves to just fuck with people. He is an incredible example of what happens when you mix a drop of authority with a gallon of stupidity.

That all being said I have found that my home has gone up in value so I can make a tidy profit from selling it. I have been in touch with a mortgage broker who says that my credit score and income make me availible to get into a program where the state pays the closing costs on homes in certain areas.

So my plans are to sell my mobile home and buy a house with around the same square footage as my current home plus a garage which will save me $200. per month in storage for my lawn equipment and then trim down my lawn care buisness to around 15- 20 customers so I will still make around $600. per week. When the lease ends on my truck (in 2-1/2 years) I plan to close the buisness (sell it off) and pay cash for a car.

Any thoughts?
 
It sounds quite a good plan.

Have you simply thought about supervising a crew of mowers rather than doing it all yourself at your age?

It's not that you have to open a grave and wait at 70, but it's reasonable to cut back on the physical, and you have the nose for what it takes to manage customers. Just hire one or two men or women and keep replacing them (if you have to) until you get the right ones who will work and be trustworthy.

Also, I think you'll enjoy the space a house affords without the proximity of the other trailers.

Glad you've succeeded so well. I remember when you started the business and shared with us on here.

Thanx, I tried hiring a few people but it didn't work out. It takes more energy to get a worker to put their phone away and run a mower than it does to just do it myself.
 
I like your plan, I'm wondering if the crazy housing market should give pause to anyone looking to buy right now?

I can relate. My experience has been similar. Hired unskilled labor this year to help get chores around the house and yard done. These were tasks I was doing myself, but not fast enough. Paid $20 an hour, plus bonus.

Same old shit.

Coming to work late or not coming. Using excuses to justify. Unable to follow simple instructions. Unable to work unsupervised. Unable to use simple equipment like a weedeater. Although the work I did get was helpful in getting more done, it wasn't worth it ultimately because I couldn't get work done on my own at the same time.

There's just a sea change in many who will not work. You can either pay unrealistically high rates for unskilled labor, or you can get those whose main goal is to not work, and are just doing enough to keep in rent or vape, or drugs.

That's a valid point, as the prices are definitely going to be lower the longer you wait in the near term, BUT that's only relevant if you're planning on reselling. He may wind up upside down in the math, but if he's ready to do something different in housing, it's a tradeoff between house value and quality of life.

He sounds like the latter is a bigger factor at the moment.

To me it's not an investment so if the market crashes it's no big deal (to me). However if I wait too long the mobile home I am in could start to lose value.
 
Do it.

You have wanted to move for months now.

Cash out, start easing up and enjoy some life while you still can.

There's a yard care business here that requires workers to turn in their phones when they clock in for the day.
 
If an employee doesn't care enough to only use a phone when on break or to receive an emergency call they aren't going to put out a good days work anyway. I found myself having to prod people along which cut into my productivity.

How do you prod a policeman along? That's all they do here: stand and look at their phones while everybody stabs each other.

I suspect the policy itself weeds out those people -- if they're not willing to give up their phones for the day they don't accept the job.
 
It sounds like you've been a busy man and you should take time for yourself and go easy on things and good luck to whatever you do
