Rent the home

Renting a residential or commercial space is a very safe and most common way to generate profit from the spare home anyone has. Usually, people are comfortable renting homes for residential purposes. Leasing it is also a great way too. Moreover, if you don’t want to rent the whole house or apartment, you can rent a part of it. This gives you the ultimate power to look over the house by being an active part of it. Long term lease is also a good idea, as it will make sure you have a flow of income every month for a long time.

Offer storage facilities

If your house is a bit far from the main town, or too large for residential space but too small for commercial space; you can offer your house to the storage space unit. Although, you would have to go through a long process to get approval from the city council. But it is a great way to make sure the income flows from the second house. Making it a temporary storage house makes it safe from certain damage that would occur if the house was rented for residential purposes.

Run a bed and breakfast

If your house is a vacation house that you go to once a year, turn it into a break and breakfast. This will make sure that your house is always under control by some authority, and you can earn a decent amount from the house that was lying idle.
