Rental business is very profitable if you find out the best working niche market. For example, furniture rental is now trending in the United States and this is the right time to step into this opportunity. This is the type of business in which you invest one time and get returns as long as the product is in working condition. Bicycle, drone cameras and electrical equipment rentals are some of the profitable niche.

Now a days no one is going to waste money on buying expensive things if they are going to use them only once or twice. Take a wedding dress for example. Unless you are sentimental to keep it in your wardrobe for the rest of your life, you can just rent it and save a lot of money.

Same goes for other things which people can rent instead of buying.

Rental business is a large growing sector to give us peace of mind where we don’t know what to do with things we don’t need anymore when we are leaving a town after a short stay.

Let us take a look at the opportunities in this area to make money renting what people can rent instead of buying.

I got an income of more than $2000 a month as the rooms were rented out for $300 a month including water and electricity bills.

I was able to pay $1000 to my landlord and deposited $1000 a month in my bank account as I worked part time for our daily expenses.
