I am about to come into possession of a house of 6 rooms for at least 6 months. The future of the property is to be knocked down and rebuilt into a larger house for sale at a profit (this is an almost definite thing for the future). My goal is to make the most amount of profit in the time it takes to submit plans for a new house and get approval from my local bodies for building works.
My requirements:
Other details:
The house is in a suburb in a city (population ~4,000,000)
I have a lot of time, but would prefer not to have to work upwards of 50 hours per week to maintain the idea. (higher preference for less work)
If I do nothing I get zero profit and waste the surplus resource.
Because of the nature of plans, and local governing bodies - it may take a variable amount of time for approval, so an idea that takes this into account, or has a flexibility to it would help.
Existing ideas: ROT13
I consider sharing this problem just a spot of fun to see what ideas can be come up with. My ideas are limited by my experience. As an existing problem I assume there are existing solutions. I would like to know how many of them I have overlooked.
I would expect AirBnb to be the best option.
