Creative Income Strategies for Vacant Lot
Curious to see what creative income-producing approaches any of you may have used in a small unused parking lot (about 0.3 acres, formerly a car wash) to generate some cash for the duration of a Buy-and-Hold investment. 

Zoned for Mixed Use, so fairly flexible. 

Examples:
- food truck lot
- produce stand lot
- mobile car wash lot
- event paid parking 
- etc.
