Speaking of gardens, the 3/4 acre garden surrounding the house is overgrown, but there are some amazing old plants hidden amongst the chaos - I found a rhododendron with a 30' spread, whose trunk was 8" in diameter - quite a specimen this far north.The main house has seen the anteroom and library/smoking room (on the right-hand side of the main entrance) turned into two bedrooms - with a washroom and laundry closet added between them.  

Should there ever be a reversal in the State or Federal laws prohibiting such use the greenhouses would still be a very viable, albeit not as profitable from an ROI stand point, for the cultivation of vegetable and/or other plants that need year around environmentally controlled conditions.My thougt was that since it looks as though there's a real strong possibility that the Marijuana industry looks like it could be here to stay that expanding into commercial and reatail properties that lend themselves to this venue might be a prudent investment. 

Kasdorf, research manager for the Houston Chamber of Commerce.The availability of cheap and plentiful office space, plus a large labor pool, also recently have led to a surprising growth in the number of new small businesses.Ironically, the downturn also lessened traffic on the city's notoriously jammed freeways and is allowing officials to catch up on much-needed road construction projects.Yet even those involved in the diversification effort admit that it could take two decades before enough industries plant their roots and help wean the city off its oil dependency.Until then, many Houstonians say they will hang tough in the belief that their city eventually will rebound and provide the opportunities that drew them to it in the first place.''

I sell divining rods that not only find water but also points out the best places to plant your money trees.  

Just a couple mirrors, plants, and pictures.  

Its close to the freeway and honestly its a decent neighborhood and could be a great cash flow property especially with the new plants opening in Detroit and the build of Downtown Detroit.

So I call my Property Manager and they say, Yes, the tenant has all the permits and papers from Tulare County to grow Medical Marijuana and that they are following the permit exactly as to how many plants they are allowed to grow.

Even if your timeline is only 5 years why deny yourself the power of leverage.You know the old saying: The best time to plant a tree is thirty years ago.

It's really all there and has been forever, as far as we are concerned.The Bible teaches over and over about planting seeds, raising and harvesting, pulling weeds, taking the impure and burning it and all that remains is what is pure.

In fact, I wish that 3 trillion dollars was spent keeping Americans alive...instead it was used to start a war that W thought could be ended in a year (remember "Mission Accomplished") but other GOP leaders now think will last 100 years or more...If W hadn't been so focused on his personal vendetta, he may have noticed that Iran was building multiple nuclear plants...clearly, if the newly revealed plant is almost complete, it's been under construction for several years now.Too bad W didn't bother to notice it, and now Obama needs to deal with it once it's almost complete...
