I have a 2800sqft building attached to my house. It was commercial until the 1980s, but now its zoned residential. I am going to try to fight that, but in the meantime, lets assume it won’t be zoned commercial. I’m quiting my job january 1 to fly solo and utilizing this space is an important part of the plan.

Ive thought about an Airbnb. I already have utilities and waste lines in there. I estimate I could build something for 75k and probably get 3k in gross.

Things like 3d printing, bitcoin mining, use it as a warehouse to buy and sell things from alibaba, all cross my mind but I have no experience with anything like that. So, I’m hoping for some guidance from some smart folks. If you had 2800sqft and 100k to invest, what business would you start?

    Insulate it so it is 100% dark and silent inside. Charge $100+ per hour as an isolation therapy room. [Let people (individuals) walk around in the dark and bump into things, lol.]

    You can also do themes on this, so add in brown noise or lighting synced to hypnotic immersion, etc.

      I actually love this idea. Would build it for sh*ts and giggles.

      Market it as a way to relax from the daily grind. Setup a subscription and booking system, with a digital lock so that members can come and go as they please.

        Sensory deprivation tanks might be interesting. I feel like they are falling out of fashion though.
