Rental Businesses
This is perhaps the biggest venture you can take up as an entrepreneur. There are various ways to invest in rental businesses in the property industry. One is by choosing to invest in buy-to-let properties that will result in profitable returns. Alternatively, you can rent out property you already own, be it land or structured spaces. Clear land within towns or near cities can be rented out for car parking services, event venues, equipment storage space or even as a temporary dumpster site. Apartments and rooms are more suitable to offer office spaces, accommodation services, vacation space rentals, event venues, and storage spaces.
Those with properties out of town or in residential areas can choose services to offer according to the needs of those around them. For instance, you can rent out your yard for animal grooming services, pasture, breeding services, car-washing services, local event venues among other ways that you find most profitable. If you have a large piece of land, you can rent it out. Consider renting small pieces of it out to kiosks, temporary homes, farmers, showrooms, big events, etc. People closer to water bodies can rent out boat parking spaces as well as fishing grounds and event spaces seasonally.
Plant-Based Businesses
This applies to both large and small scale-spaces. Both animal and plant products generate income but differ in productivity due to climate differences. Choosing the best plants you can have in your garden at home, for instance, depends on the type of soil, its pH levels, its porosity, and fertility. Varieties include landscaping plants, vegetables, gourmet, timber-producing trees, fruit trees, and many others. Sell these plants or their seedlings and seeds to the public.
After a harvest, rotate or switch the types of plants you grow seasonally to maintain soil fertility and boost productivity. Bigger farms have more open choices depending on what your location is well known for. You could even start your own lawn care company and assist homeowners in maintaining their yards. There are plenty of plant business opportunities for entrepreneurs to take advantage of.
Animal Based Businesses
Rearing farm animals is a bolder choice but is subject to the property space you have available. Pig rearing, for example, will not be suitable for residential areas due to the smell and noise they make which people would complain about. Such areas are more suitable for quieter animals like rabbits, and guinea fowls that your community would approve of.
Wider more isolated spaces, however, are better to work with when it comes to rearing many animals. This goes especially for noisy, dangerous animals or those that have strong smells and attract insects like dogs, bees, pigs, poultry, livestock, fish and many more. The advantage of using your property to breed animals is that you can document your findings and struggles on blogs, host shows and make more passive income online as you sell your services, animals and their by-products.
Agricultural Business Centers In Cities
Those without free land but are willing to invest in agriculture can take advantage of the property they have for distribution, storage, and manufacturing processes. There are plenty of trends such as hydroponics farming trends that are altering the agriculture industry. You can find plenty of opportunities in this sector. Smaller spaces can be used for grocery shops, distribution points or storage for either plant or animal by-products. You can also set up a small textile company from which you can enter the textile industry using products like cotton, sisal, and wool. Bigger spaces can be set up into manufacturing industries for dairy, meat products, vegan products and many more.
Recreational Businesses
Recreation activities are a big and necessary part of human life. People engage in seasonal recreational activities as well as all-season activities. More so now that more people are trying to meet the recommended time for daily physical activity by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Setting up a recreational center can, therefore, be a brilliant way to make money. After all, there is a ready and receptive market. Big spaces can be used to construct theme parks, motor-racing venues, sports centers, venues for big parties and events, camping sites, hunting grounds, and water recreation sites. Smaller spaces, as well as indoor spaces, can be set up for smaller parties, dance classes, children’s playgrounds, gyms, play stations, board game stations, and movie centers.
Fix And Flips
This involves buying, fixing and selling of property for a value higher and more profitable than the initial price. This is done mostly on buildings and homes. Fix and flip investments can be done as a full-time business for a realtor who has access to properties and can spot the potential in what may have been forgotten. It may not be a suitable business choice for those who are new at it or do not have professional financial advice. One is bound to go at a loss especially if the property that isn’t insured experiences break-ins or fires, therefore, stepping into it should be done carefully.
The key aspect to choose the business to start up is its viability in your geographical location. Your prosperity depends on the niche you decide to pursue and your ability to sustain it. Essential needs like water and electricity, traffic, favorable climate and costs of running your business will help you rule out what is sustainable. Filling the money-making gaps is easy but people lose sight of the true potential of the property they own. Your goal as an entrepreneur should be to maximize the value of your property and gain profit.
