Mu grandmother had her house next door to a church parking lot and she had a flower garden under her kitchen window.

I pay my gardener $60 a MONTH to mow my grass and trim the hedges.

Advertising things like a butterfly garden can help attract tenants.Negatives: Time commitment.  

Hi BP,

I'm about to close on a Lot of land in the urban area of Lansing MI. I'm reviewing local nonprofits to partner with for this venture (recommendations Welcome). I'm curious as to how to include this into my 201...

Total purchase price with all closing costs.Re-sale value if you re-sold it the day escrow closed.Property taxes, insurance, mortgage, trash, sewer fees, gardening and all other costs.Rehab or repair costs when escrow closes.Year builtHow many years does the roof have left?

The trompe l'oeil wall treatment on both stories of the great hall is still in amazing shape despite a handful of small cracks in the plaster.The original kitchen on the back of the house and the servants quarters above have been converted into an 2-bedroom apartment (I would guess back in the 40s based upon the age of the appliances - there's a 1930s/40s electric range which is in like-new condition.Similarly, the gardener's quarters in the walk-out basement has been turned into a 1-bedroom apartment - probably in the 1950s.  

I went to several brokers but what they showed me were small garden apts, two story buildings with no views, and facing parking lots. drab and not at all the paradise I hopes to find.

Garden supplies during end of Summer sales. - Buy from local thrift stores.- Hire day labor to do relatively simple things like yard cleaning and basic landscaping, interior painting etc.Thanks in advance.

In 2012, the Garden unit became available.

We just sold a 51x130 lot two blocks South of Kennedy and the builder scrambled to ask for a Variance to make the 7 foot setback that was already moved to 5 foot next door, to 3 FEET with only 5 feet for garden in the back alley access where they build the garage.
