We started a little garden & fenced it off.

Repurposing each floor into spacious home suites, with indoor gardens in each home, a restaurant on an entire floor, the rooftop with a pool and gym...capital heavy but if it can be streamlined into a science, maybe its new upscale housing fir the cost of a complete interior remodel vs building a stick frame on new land out farther away from the city.

@Brad Gunter, Call Maxwell Gardens.

Rules for such things as: how often to change HVAC filters, redo paint jobs, have a gardener come, check smoke detectors etc.Should I have the tenant or landlord pay?  

Colorado Springs in general attracts a large tourist crowd with Garden of the Gods, Pikes Peak, Olympic Training Center, and 5 military installations to include the Air Force Academy.

I am paying a little over $450 a month out of my own pocket for gas, electricity, water, sewer, garbage, gardener, and insurance.

We bought this duplex plus with garden unit in Park Ridge,IL.

I want to make a sunken garden in the old basement and have one or two food vending trucks or trailers (on the grade level).  

Weeding garden beds is a whole different issue.
