Lex DeVille's - 200 Mostly Offline Rental Business Ideas

[Jeff Noel]

Someone had this in a recent Shark Tank episode. Seemed like he was doing well with it. Heard of a dude renting dorm furniture to students or anyone who has had to move in a quick manner in one of @JScott 's podcast. Wish I had thought of that one.

So now that you're thinking about it... what is stopping you ? McDonald's wasn't the first restaurant ever.

To piggyback this idea, where you can rent, you can flip.

Renting merely implies that someone only needs the good for a limited amount of time. This means that of any of these products people would rent, there are likely people who bought these tools and no longer need them. You could buy & flip these products, or just buy and rent them as Lex suggested.

Part of my house-hack plan is to rent the garage spaces and my backyard for small meetings/family parties/little private weddings

I was just researching some of this rental ideas and must of them are already available (in Spain at least). So I thought about finding a way to profit from it without directly renting the goods. What about a directory that has all the goods for rent listed and you get a commission when something gets rented? Anyway if someone is renting camera equipment probably would be looking for a studio or a place for a photo session. If someone is renting construction equipment would surely need some truck to transport the machines, etc. So having a platform like a rental-eBay could be a good place to find everything someone needs for a particular event.

It would need some more in depth thinking and researching but I didn't find something like this yet.

This post is an absolute golden nugget. My mind is racing with ideas on how I could use this to my advantage as I live in a country that is currently experiencing rolling blackouts on a frequent basis (also known locally as 'Loadshedding'). Thank you very much for this.
