Welcome @La Toya Flowers Butler ! 

They plant flowers, keep the yard nice, and I really enjoy them.

Fix it.We eliminate as much landscaping as possible: we take out flower beds and most decorative features, ideally, lawn mowing is the only job tenants have to do, because we know that's all we can expect from most.

They care about what they estimate it would cost to rebuild the home.All else being equal, yes, older homes are more expensive to insure than newer homes for a variety of reasons. 

I'd like to be able to give a variety of options for the listeners along your recommendations and feedback on the options.

We have had duplexes with shared water, sewer, and trash billing, as well as shared driveways.The long term tenants act more like owner occupants, planting flowers, etc. and in some cases neighbors think that they are the owners. 

.- The variety of financing products available as individual tenant in common loans remains limited, and the terms are generally less favorable than either apartment building loans or condominium loans.

I am trying to tabulate Business that may have higher depreciation but yet help me build wealth in form of real estate or potential customers for variety of services. 

I could be wrong or out of line, but I feel like this is a field where you really need some good expertise/experience to know how to address the variety of crazy situations that will come up.
