Are you going to use the mower commercially?
No.

How much do you want to spend?
As little as possible. I feel like I am at a car dealership right now.
But I expect to spend anywhere from $3 to $4K.

You want a homeowner's model. Buy new for the warranty. Buy from a dealer or hardware store that services what they sell.
Most major brands are making good homeowner models in that price range; X Mark, Gravely, etc. All mowers eventually need repairs.
Engine and spindles are the most important part of the mower. Change oil and filters every 40-50 hours and blow grass from deck when done cutting.
Caution: if dealer sees you using homeowner model in any yard other than your own, or you accidentally tell them this, your warranty is void.

Been there and done that. My yard is over 4 ac now. From ride mowers, using a tractor with a finishing mower, I had enough.
Really depends on your yard size and if you have gates to go thru. Base your buy on that, BUT, stay away from big box stores. My Bad Boy cost me 5K after taxes. Told the wife we should just fence everything in, get a shite load of goats.
Good thing about that 5K, it was well spent. The wife cuts the yard about 95% of the time. 
She loves doing it.

I bought an exmark quest ...
I'd buy a hustler if I had to again. They are very nice machines.
