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?
“If I only had an original idea, I’d start my own business” is something I have heard over-and-over.
You don’t need an original or unique idea. You need an idea that you will follow through on and do better than most others who are doing it.
OP, what are you doing now for a living? What other things have you done? What hobbies are interests do you already know about? Can you already identify some kind of business where you think “I could do that better?”.
