How much ROI would you like?
Plenty of money out there you just go pick it up off the ground. If you have a little bit of rural dirt there are several simple ideas If you have the dirt.

There are companies that do this. You'll see vacuum trucks driving through parking lots in the early hours of the morning and some dude with a backpack blower hitting the walkway in front of the stores.

Every shopping center uses this service. The employee turnover is high.

Ice machines


I researched those stand-alone ice machines. The only way to really make money is to be able to service the refrigeration yourself. If you have the tools and knowledge to deal with refrigeration, they are great money makers.

You'd need 5+ good locations to be able to afford a full time maintenance guy to service all the systems.

Find a couple OT4s and buy them some tits and butthole bleaching and have them make OF content and take half their earnings as a management fee.

I would buy/build commercial property to lease out in a good area. That will provide you a steady stream of income until you are too old to give a shite.
this is the worst idea ever.

Apparently storage units are the latest.

I have a few other ideas that are kind of location specific but I'm not putting it out publicly without some kind of at least small return. I've been burnt twice before.

Storage unit. Look for spots near old folks homes/retirement communities. They downsize and don't want to throw things away and have steady social security income to pay for storage.

Also, I know a guy that inherited a couple dozen acres of unused flat land. Considered leasing it to farmers (as he is a corporate city type), but decided instead to build 4 baseball fields with lights and a concession stand and a big gravel parking lot.

It is full every weeknight and all weekend. And a huge chunk is cash from admissions and concessions. The part that isn't is the contracts from the leagues to play there. I'm not saying he doesn't pay taxes on the cash part, but you know...

They became the latest in about 2010

They have proliferated in the last 15 years.

i have my main job and 2 side hustles

started a home maintenance business and have a crew now that runs everything and we never run out of work. a bulk of our work comes from pressure washing, spring cleanup, windows, gutters. we tried the avenue of grass cutting/landscaping and it's just a hassle.

i'm about to sell that business and open a health and wellness clinic. women love botox and men love testosterone.

They've always been around, but urbanization has taken off in our society the last 15 years at a rate never seen before. That requires downsizing.

Additionally, the baby boomers are aging into retirement and downsizing and that's a huge chunk of the population that needs storage.

I didn't want to have to trust someone to collect the money every evening and didn't want to do it myself. The other downside was that the salesman told me that I would definitely have it broken into periodically and equipment damaged trying to steal the money in the machines. He said it was just a part of owning a laundry mat.


Why not make it credit/debit cards only

With current trends, maybe even EBT cards. It has become commonplace to see them used for fresh seafood and steaks, colas and fast food. Might as well expand for the "right" to do laundry.

Then I guess they are still the "latest". I see land being cleared constantly and investigations reveal "ne storage unit site". Crazy that people have this much stuff to store.

Curious about health wellness clinics. My wife is a doc and she always wanted to open one but the competition seems fierce
