Retirement, travel, kids, whatever they may be, check out how earning money through your property can get you there.
Homestay Hosting
As you could gather from the title, homestay hosting is one of the more prominent options, especially in the U.K. You might be asking what it is, and that is understandable as many people are unaware of this possibility, but homestay host is offering to host international students at your home for a period of time. These students are usually secondary school age and can stay for a range of time with many options. You can be paid a few thousand each year to provide this option for students which makes it very enticing for homeowners looking to put up a foreign student for a while.
Renting/Subletting
These rules really depend as many places differ in what is allowed for subletting. In any case, renting to non-students is a good way to make use of an extra bedroom or on-suite of your home. If you have space and confidence in the potential tenant, then this is a lucrative option and can net you some noticeable income each month. Many apartment owners do this when they are out of town for some time, usually during summer months, but homeowners can take advantage. Some things you need to know are that there are a lot of contractual obligations you will need to agree to for this, like providing a safe living space, assuming this option interests you.
Event Hosting
Owning property like a home with adequate yard space, or even somewhere rural like a farm, gives some good options when it comes to making extra income through your property. One such way that people do this is by hosting events. Weddings, parties, food drives, and government campaign hosting are just some of the ways you can use your property to host events. Of course, there are many more but it all depends on how much space you have, how nice your property or home is, and of course, the market of the area you live in. In any case, this is definitely one thing you should look into, and may even lead to a career in event hosting if you find it that enjoyable!
Bed and Breakfast
If you would like to host tenants for shorter periods instead of renting out long term then starting a bed and breakfast is a good idea. The charm of many rural towns or villages, and the architecture of older homes, makes this a really popular option for running a money-making business with your property. It is certainly a tourist attraction, and even more modern bed and breakfasts are seeing big spikes in popularity because people want to experience more authentic travel if they come from far away, or if they just want a weekend getaway from their normal life.
Storage Rental
You can probably see the trend in rental ideas as big money-making potential ideas for property owners. Whatever the reasons are, they certainly can benefit you if you own a property and want to use it to make money. Renting storage space is another good idea as space is at a premium for many people. For storing bigger items it might be easier to have someone else, like yourself, do it for them on their property so people look for that as a way to clear up space and you can certainly take advantage of that need to earn more money.
Using your property to make money has never been easier. With so many options to use your home or land to help pad your income on a monthly or yearly basis, there is an abundance of ways you can find a use for your space. There is always a market for something and these are good ways to help use your home to achieve it.
