I'm also looking to add a flower farm and speakeasy.

And getting closer to being ready to learn from experience.My most intriguing one yet:Two buildings on one lot:3 bedroom 2 bathsBut there is an RV parking spot with 30 amp outlets I could probably charge 775 for the 2 bedroom and 585 for the single.

Networking is key, especially when you’re just starting out.

It's quicker to do all laminate though and may outlast tile.Ollies bargain outlet has laminate but it's not any better or of any better value than box stores.You can buy a shipping container of laminate from China on alibaba which may have some added savings if you have a lot of flooring to do.I typically don't bother with an underlayment because it is added cost and provides little value IMHO.

I have a rental and I am wondering if I can depreciate mulch, gardening soil, annual flowers and perennials? 

none are a bad thing, all fixable but know what you are getting yourself into.Check every outlet with a tester.

The actual lake called Clear Lake does have a coastal outlet and a yacht club, and Armand Bayou Nature Center is a delightful park with multiple playgrounds, wooded paths, and a sizable dog park.

I'm in Denver as well and always love to chat about RE and how we could help each other out.
