Secure the debt now, plant the seeds, and watch those trees grow and become prosperous.

My properties do have hearty plants and hardscape so they're 'nice' but a little bit easier to manage.  

Add more hardscape with places to sit/entertain and some drought tolerant plants around the periphery with automated drip irrigation lines.

Sections of Homewood that are West of Governor's Highway have traditionally been viewed as being a little less desirable since the houses in the area are farther from the walkable downtown/transit and that part of town has suffered from some minor blight over the years.

I don't understand why developers/builders plant trees directly above the drain pipe.

Besides possible issues of practicing law without a license, you take on liability of providing a contract, if the contract fails and a loss is suffered due to that failure, someone can hold out their hand to be indemnified.

Every now and then they're going to cancel at the last second, and you're going to have to relist and suffer a couple of weeks of loss.

Shameless plug for the RE niche I work in, but the area between Lubbock and Midland also produces between 70-80% of the winegrapes produced each year in TX with more being planted each year.

Highly polluted areas, waste sanitation plant is right there. 

A lot of technology companies have been moving here to take advantage of the lower cost of living and available land from farms to build their manufacturing plants. https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/intels-move-into-ohio-brings-new-tech-kudos-competition-for-talent-2022-01-21/
