I am thinking of allowing semi trucks to park there, to make
money. There is one semi trailer parked on my property right now -- I
have no idea whose semi trailer it is and will sort it out -- so it
seems to be legal.

In Las Vegas, out at the south end of Nellis, they were putting in Hwy 93.
There was a car out there in the desert. It had no doors, motor, rear
end, etc. Just a shell. As kids we went out there. As we got older, we
got girls to go with us. You know the rest.

The car was a hulk. But, legally, they had to slap an orange sticker on
it (it was upside down) for 90 days. Of course, no one claimed it, and it
was towed off by a wrecker after 90 days. Ending up with a titleless
chattel can be a real PITA to legally dispose of, conduct searches you
might have to pay for, and heaven forbid traces of cocaine, blood, or
heroin show up. And, as usual, it's the honest little guy who pays through
the nose and has huge hoops to go through. As a renter, this may become a
regular scenario for you which may be profitable or costly.

A guy I know in Redondo Beach rented his parking lot to those "roach
coaches" guys. He got damn good rent because in addition to being roach
coaches, they secretly doubled as unlicensed payday loan sources of cash,
and that bumped the price up, and they ended up being a very quiet
self-policing group, not wanting any reason for the cops to come over.
They were licensed inspected vehicles paying for overnight parking, think
he had to get a parking lot license. Not a lot of $$$.

Keep it simple, Simon.

You've got some good points Steve, however smaller vehicles could be ok.

We've got a 40 seat bus we park in someone elses yard and pay a couple of
hundred a month for a loose "road base" parking space.

There are a lot of buses, small trucks etc in our industrial areas that pay
for a fenced parking lot. I dont know about the US but here in Oz the
liabilities are small.
