I know I'm probably going to get blasted that the opp sux but trying to understand why vegetables grown close to big markets are so costly when there are cheaper plots of land you're not allowed to build on. 

There may be tree vegetation restrictions that tell you what you can and cannot cut down.Building costs vary but in Charleston your starting costs with a contractor is $150 SF.

Below are some generalizations about ongoing maintenance costs: Older properties require more maintenance than newer properties.Composition roofs require more maintenance than tile roofs.Properties in climates with hard freezes require more maintenance than properties in milder climates.Properties in locations with a lot of moisture require more maintenance than properties in dryer climates.Wood siding requires more maintenance than aluminum or stucco siding.Properties with lush vegetation require more maintenance than properties with little or no vegetation.Below is a typical Las Vegas single family class A home.In summary, I believe Las Vegas is not only a good place to invest today, it has a high probability of continuing to be a good investment location into the foreseeable future.

However, on top of that electrical issue, the ground is sinking in very noticeably around the area where the pool was filled in, meaning the backyard may need additional work and the soil itself that was used may not hold grass or vegetation like the rest of the property.  

Side hill (it's on a corner lot) needs rethinking for vegetation; that water wise landscaping never took, so it's bare dirt with a few spindly weeds.

The property has a ton of crappy vegetation that os wasting space and I want it gone even though these outgoing tenants like them.

Its like humans... you may need protein and someone else calcium, the doctor usually doesnt make the exact same prescription to two different people.

It's almost all stone, with mountain cedar bushes and other vegetation covering 85% of the property.

Will extend the offer to tenants for raised bed vegetable gardens in the back if they wish to work it. all our tenants seem to be long term we've had one for 20 years and another for 15 so they feel a pride in living in the building and pick up trash or any fruit that might fall on their own.

Meat bad, vegetables good.. : )  I am not aware of any other profession, in Texas, that requires ethical education training to renew their license.
