Turn your home into a money-making property with these simple tips

Instead of waiting for many years for your property’s value to rise so that you can sell it for profit, you can start making some cool cash today with these simple tips.

It is not unusual to find people thinking about property sales whenever they hear or see the words "property" and "money-making" in the same sentence. But beyond the process of striking a deal with realtors and meeting with prospective homebuyers, there are a whole lot of ways by which one can make money from homes. By now, we all know how much our homes take from us, from property taxes to monthly utilities, mortgage payments to renovations, owning a home, and maintaining its standard doesn't come for a cheap. So if there was ever a chance for someone to make money from their property, why wouldn't anyone want to take that?

Why some people might think of property sales as the only viable way of making money from homes, we beg to differ. Because, instead of waiting for many years for your property's value to rise so that you can sell it for profit, you can start making some cool cash today with these simple tips.

Rental suite addition
Did you know that you can become a landlord overnight without even laying a brick? If you live in a neighbourhood where rental suites are allowed to be incorporated into homes, then you can leverage this opportunity and fetch yourself a new line of revenue. Even if you don't have extra rooms in your home for the classic in-law or basement suite, you can always convert your garage into one. And if you're lucky enough to live in an area where it's permitted, you can even build a new standalone structure for your rental suites. With these suites, you can either rent to people or lease to businesses, and earn yourself an extra income stream. But before you take this step, be sure to find out about the legal requirements for building a rental suite in your immediate environment. 

Usually, in some areas, it's required of a legal rental suite to have its separate entrance, full kitchen, and even bathroom. Furthermore, you also want to find out about how much income your suite is likely to fetch you before you create one. Finally, be sure to determine how long it will take you to get back whatever capital you're going to invest.

Make your house available for rent
If your house, locality, and budget aren’t so suited to rental suites, don’t worry, there is still another opportunity for you to make thousands of dollars from that highly expensive home of yours. Did you know that homeowners rent their homes out to people whenever they’re far away or living somewhere more desirable? And before you rush into the assumption that your home must be a top-class, high-end building, situated in a resort-like locality, know that some of the houses that have been rented out over the years are in no way the best structures around. It’s more about the location of your home than the nature of the building itself. If you’re lucky enough to have a home close to college, university, large business market, or even an area with a tight rental market, then you can consider your home a great match for rent. To quicken the whole process of renting out your apartment and generating enough revenue, you may want to consider signing up to be an Airbnb host on a platform like Co-Host Marketplace

Run a bed and breakfast
If you feel renting out your home for an entire month or year is a big ask, then you can try renting it out nightly or weekly. For homes with several rooms and apartments, this option is a very lucrative one, as it allows room for homeowners to maximize their rental income by turning their homes into a Bed and Breakfast. 

Rent out you’re a storage space
While some people may be cool with renting their homes out to strangers, some don’t fancy this idea, and for people like these, turning their homes into a money-making avenue might seem difficult. But you need not worry if you’re in this category. If you have some spare spaces or rooms in your home that can be used for storage, then you might be able to rent it out monthly as storage. 

Start a home-based venture
The last but not least idea on this list is that of a home-based business. While all the tips above have been pointing in the direction of home renting and usage, this tip is aimed at using your home as a small business base. Running your small-scale business at home has its advantages. Not only does it save you the cost of renting stores, shops, or offices, but it also presents you with an opportunity to write off some taxes.
