Hey guys! I am currently acquiring a single-family home in central Illinois, that has a whole a lot of grass. Seeming as though my profit margin already on a single family won't be the largest of all, I want to cut my lawn care expenses as much as possible. Is anyone have alternative to having to cut all the grass? Thought about Rock landscape, turf, not sure what else. Maybe a Prairie? 80% of the grass is behind the house only seen by one neighbor. Ideas? Thanks y'all!
I have a house on 1 acre and my lease requires the tenants mow the grass. I only have to deal with lawn care if one of my places is vacant which is rare.
Buy a few RVs for 10K each, let them drain into your sewer and rent them out in addition to the house. Maybe add a yurt or 2 in the nicer temperature months and....voila.....less grass to cut and more money coming in
Cut a small area at the house and let the rest grow wild. Or kill off all the grass and plant a low growing weed like Creeping Charlie or some other low ground cover.

Good luck @Jamison Wiersema I've got a 10-acre property. While most is wooded, there is a lot of lawn to be mowed to make it attractive to high-quality renters. Costs me $150 every two weeks! But its a lot of work in a remote area.
offer the lawn area to be utilized for someone that does goat yoga.....seems to be a new craze....together with having several other str units like yurts or rvs...the goats would mowe the grass and would be another attraction for people staying there.
