looking to start a business cutting lawns mainly that of foreclosed homes how do i go about getting these

Answer 1

Get some good looking business cards from VistaPrint, and visit the local banks. Ask for whoever handles home financing, and make your pitch. Dress nicely, and make sure you spell everything right on the card.

Answer 2

Most of them will remain uncut, there is no one to pay you to cut them.  Since the water is typically turned off anyway, there is no grass growing.

If the city requires them to be cut they MAY be hiring, although they usually just use the people on payroll already.   You would have to be hired full time.

If the property is in a HOA the HOA may pay for an independent contractor to maintain the fronts.    Contact them.     Be prepared though, many have long standing contracts with maintenance personel already.
