A good high school buddy didn't like mowing lawns, but was pretty good at hitting up the local realtors to have him maintain the yards in their vacant mcmansion listings. In 1988 $50 to mow a big lawn was still good money. He subbed it out to kids for $25 and kept $25 for himself. Never had to mow a lawn and made plenty of money doing it.
