I started my own business last month.
I bought a 22 unit "mini-warehouse"/storage complex.
So far I have 26K invested with 2K more coming up for insurance, my payments are $560 a month plus $300 electric and dumpster. I'm buying a $200 sign tomorrow.
All the rent is in for March, and after sales tax, and federal self employment tax, I cleared.......$48.
There are 4 more units available at $75 and 1 at $95. So a bit more potential is there.
I do however get as many of those as I want. I'm already using 2.
...and I can now go buy that next project car I really don't need, and not worry about where to put it.
I've thought about making one unit a paint booth or blast booth.
I've also thought about an alignment rack so I can do the classics that none of the modern places seem to want to work on.
It's a big garage that some other people are helping me pay for.
Just some food for thought.
