Years ago, Mom introduced me to the idea of going to garage sales. People sell the darnedest things at their garage sales. If you keep your head and are persistent, you can find many things you want or need, all in near perfect condition, for a fraction of the cost with NO TAXES due. Typical garage sale prices are $.25

I already had saved up a box full of wine bottles, in hopes of selling them at my next garage sale, so we didn’t have any cash outlay for those. To start, I made a sample bottle as proof of concept using images printed on matte photo paper. Tax on paper $0.78. Tax on tape $0.64. Total cost $17.45.

As a child and teen, I painted (inside and out), mowed and trimmed, punched holes in concrete to install decorate iron railings, worked with hand and power tools and helped my parents do everything from putting up a garage to putting up storm windows. When I go to garage sales, I see folks selling nearly new home decorations for a pittance.

Sell photography online Selling photography online might not be the most obvious place to set up a passive business, but it could allow you to scale your efforts, especially if you can sell the same photos over and over again. The platform then pays you every time someone uses your photo.

See multiple homes Viewing listing photos online is helpful, but isn’t a substitute for visiting homes in person and getting to know the area and its amenities. You may need to submit additional paperwork as your lender completes the process, such as bank statements, tax returns or additional proof of income, so keep your paperwork organized.
