On: Ask HN: How to turn $1,000 into $10,000 in a relatively short period of time?

Buy a lawn mower and an old truck for under a grand. Go around your neighborhood and offer to mow lawns for $50 1 time per month or more. Stop once you have 33 customers. Mow lawns everyday for 6 months.

50x33=1650x6=9,900. minimum. Hire help at $25 a lawn to scale.

Don't forget to factor in the cost of fuel for the truck and the lawn mower, as well as maintenance and any government fees. Otherwise, I like your plan.

Is that the going rate for lawn service around you? Neighborhood services typically charge ~$30 around me for mowing.
