A storage unit business could be very useful during the upcoming housing market crash. As people look to downsize, they will need storage units for their extra belongings.

One of my teachers let a farmer graze his cattle on some surplus property. She claimed that while the land doubled in value, it spared her from having to pay taxes and mow it.

I’ve explored ways to generate income from vacant land myself and found several effective strategies. One approach is leasing the land for agricultural purposes, such as farming or livestock grazing, which can provide steady rental income. Alternatively, renting out the land for recreational activities like camping, hunting, or even hosting events can be profitable depending on location and local demand. Another option is exploring the potential for land development, whether for residential or commercial purposes, depending on zoning regulations and market demand. Lastly, leasing the land for renewable energy projects like solar or wind farms can offer long-term lease agreements with attractive returns. Researching local market trends and consulting with real estate professionals can help identify the most suitable income-generating strategy for your vacant land.

I have several ideas on how to generate income from it but I would recommend using it for beekeeping or as an event venue.

Farming would be the best choice. Considering how much agricultural produce is vital to human survival, you will not run out of markets to sell them.
