This is not a sarcastic reply. For sure you can do it if you put your mind to it.
Your (not sarcastic) suggestion is antithetical to the concept of retirement.

But, as far as making a profit, and I was never in Katie Belles, if they were making a profit, it must not have been enough of a profit to justify the work, and/or the use of real estate that could be more profitably used in another manner.

Businesses seldom disappear because they are too profitable.
