Assuming you're talking about rust stains on outdoor brick or concrete, you could get them from the sprinkler system if the home has well water. Also, areas (generally in the US South) with high concrentrations of red clay in the earth can look like rust stains as its the iron oxide (rust) in the red clay that makes the red color. Besides the obvious of rust coming from deteriorating metal from cars, lawnmowers etc., sometimes it emanates through old concrete slabs as the metal rebar in the concrete will rust and as it rains the water tends to pull the stains to the surface.
