@ Angela.Out planting grass seed on our new site so not quick to respond. 

I thought I wanted to wholesale and make the "quick money" but I already work really, really hard slinging steel around building schools, power plants, hospitals, bridges, etcetera and realized that I want to own multifamily rental properties on my way to financial freedom and eventually my dream homes.

Talk to the owners and tell them that you're thinking about planting "aroma" hops.

I worked about 2 miles from a wastewater treatment plant for almost 20 years and certain days the smell was unbelievable.

No the cemetery will not affect the value since it isn't that close but the thing that is closer is the city sewage treatment plant and homeless shelter (google 40 Prado), on a windy day you may get some not so pleasant smells in that direction since the wind blows southeast mostly through the Los Osos Valley wind tunnel. 

 :)About two weeks later, the curb was painted gray again and I got a code enforcement letter for bouldevard planting maintenance and irrigation that sprayed some on the driveway.  

@Michael Plante  about 5 yrs ago, I got a quote from the RichDad/PoorDad group (out of Arizona) who had a monthly Q&A call around "Land Development"  something like $1500 for the year. 

In fact, I am sure that "your reality" offers far more evidence that proves true than "my reality" (most or alot of people do fail in real estate), but to the select few out their that realize that this is not our practice life, and cannot wait around for 45 years till retirement, I would highly encourage you to start following your real estate dreams today.Yes there is a decent learning curve to real estate, and market conditions do change, but a good investor changes with the seasons, just as no farmer plants his corn in the winter, you need to adjust your investment ideas to meet your market conditions.

My former residence is now up for sale, the sign was planted today.
