That's where investing into an organized property maintenance company would come into play.
With proposition 19 in play back in 2010 your other reference would have been a great move but you would have to keep it low key. I was planning a nice 10,000 sq ft green house where we would cultivate "artichokes" and sell to whole sale sellers. Since 19 failed I will not risk the move. I love my guns too much on that risk. I haven't been a user since the 80's but I think it could have been a good cash crop.
Since we are on a commercial flow, what would you do with 12 acers of high desert just out side of Lancaster? 5 miles from hwy 395 and hwy 15?
Mini-mall? Retail coops? Self Storage complex?
