One idea is to buy a small house or building and lease it to a small business for office space. This could be our own small business or somebody’s else’s. Then we could be the property manager for that space. We could clean it weekly and handle all routine upkeep, just as we would with a short-term rental. As you can see, there’s certainly work involved if we want to qualify as a Real Estate Professional. But if we stay on top of it, fourteen hours a week isn’t too hard to handle.
