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?
Cabinet shop, automotive, some kind of light manufacturing.
Bitcoin mining, 3d printing, all seem like bubbles. What are you 3d printing? If you have viable product, just injection mold it. Bitcoin, really? Airbnb? Nope. Good old fashioned stable businesses.
Build trailers. Build stuff, that you can put on skids, wrap and wholesale, then work on making more and more. Or fix cars for $150/hour. Or build high end cabinets with CNC equipment and human input that go into high end kitchens.
