7 Things You Own That Can Pay You Rent

7. Rent out a parking space

Seven things you own that can earn rent, starting with a parking space. Number seven: rent out a parking space, such as a driveway or garage. The platform may ask for documents showing you own the space or have permission to rent it. On JustPark, you create an account, choose to rent out your space, and enter the address.

You answer questions about the space, like the type of parking, how many spaces and how access works. The team reviews the listing within one to two days and emails you on approval. Then you set prices, add bank details and take bookings. Drivers pay the price you set, plus a fee of their own.

On hourly, daily and weekly bookings, you can withdraw forty-eight hours after the booking starts. Listing is free, and you choose the price per hour, day, week or month. A space needing a fob, key or permit can be listed with clear access instructions. Permits issued by a local authority, or tied to one vehicle, are not accepted.

The owner fee is 3% of each booking, and it covers payment processing. By our count, a space priced at 100 a month keeps ninety-seven after the 3% fee. 3% of 100 is three. A listing can be paused until requested documents are verified.

6. Rent out storage space you have to people who need a place for their things

Number six: rent out storage space you have to people who need a place for their things. Reservations run month-to-month, and payment has to stay on the platform. On Neighbor, you set up a profile with a picture and a welcoming bio. You also connect your bank account through the platform's payment partner.

Next, you choose to list your space, add information about it and add pictures. The team reviews the listing before it goes live on the platform. Reservation requests arrive by email and by text. You have twenty-four hours to approve or decline, or the request expires.

When you approve, the renter is charged for the first month, and every renewal after that is charged automatically. The renter gets your exact address only after you approve. At the end of each rental period, your payout is sent to your bank account. It then shows up in the account after three to five business days.

A processing fee of 4.9% plus thirty cents comes out of each monthly host payout. The platform also offers payout protection for up to two months if a renter stops paying. By our count, on a one-hundred-dollar month, the fee is $5 and twenty cents, so you keep ninety-four eighty. 4.9% of 100 is four ninety, plus thirty cents makes five twenty.

If you need the renter to move out, you give thirty days' notice. The platform also offers liability protection to hosts. Storage rules can differ where you live.

5. Host campers on a flat piece of land with access to the outdoors

Number five: host campers on a flat piece of land with access to the outdoors. Small backyards under two acres in residential areas, rooms and converted garages typically aren't a fit. On Hipcamp, you write a description, upload photos, and set your own rules, pricing and availability. You can then choose between instant bookings and requests to book.

A confirmation email arrives with the camper's details and contact information. You can meet campers when they arrive, or let them head straight to camp for self check-in. Once campers complete their stays, payments arrive on a weekly basis. Listing has no setup fees and no monthly contracts.

New hosts verify their identity and pass a background check on the platform. Insurance that covers camping is required, from the platform's policy or your own. Every site needs access to a toilet of some kind, provided by the host or the guest. Creating a listing is free, and no hosting experience is required.

Private landowners pay a commission of 15%, taken from each booking. That commission helps cover payments, marketing, support and insurance coverage. By our count, a one-hundred-dollar night leaves $85 after the 15% commission. 15% of 100 is fifteen, and 100 minus fifteen is eighty-five.

Hosting rules for land can differ where you live.

4. Rent out your boat

Number four: rent out your boat, with a captain option you choose yourself. Carrying passengers for hire requires a captain's license, the help center says. On Getmyboat, you start by adding your listing from the owner admin area. You set your price, your cancellation policy and a security allowance for the listing.

You choose a captain option: a captain included in the price, arranged separately, or not provided. When a customer approves your offer, the platform charges the full payment at that time. The payout comes after the trip is completed and confirmed, usually processed within forty-eight hours. It then generally takes five to ten business days to reach your account, depending on your bank.

There is no upfront security deposit with this platform. The allowance can cover minor damage, fuel or cleaning, and is charged only if a valid claim is filed. On bookings in other currencies, the owner fee is 14.5%, which includes 3% for currency processing. On dollar bookings, the owner service fee is 11.5%.

By our count, 11.5% of a four-hundred-dollar trip is $46, leaving the owner 354. The help center's own example, a two-hundred-dollar offer, leaves 177. The platform does not offer boat insurance. Boating rules can differ where you live.

That's past the halfway mark: a parking space, storage, land and a boat so far. The last three cover an RV, a pool and a property for film shoots, with the best last.

3. Rent out your RV to guests who book through the platform

Number three: rent out your RV to guests who book through the platform. Your personal insurance policy doesn't apply while the vehicle is rented out, the support page says. On Outdoorsy, you gather the vehicle's details, identification number, mileage and market value. You also need at least five good photos, plus a name and a description for the listing.

Next come your bank details, your photo ID and the vehicle registration, plus tax details where they are required. Nothing is owed until your first booking begins, and listing itself is free. When a guest books, the platform collects the payment upfront. Payment is held by the platform until forty-eight hours after the trip starts.

Then your payout goes out to you, minus your host fee. Payouts usually take three to five business days to reach your bank account. There are no early or instant payouts on this platform. The platform's protection policy says every vehicle must pass an inspection of its tires, brakes, gas and propane.

The inspection has to happen within ninety days of the trip's departure. Host service fees range from twenty to 25% of the booking subtotal, and new hosts start at 25%. That starting fee goes down as booking revenue grows. By our count, on a two-hundred-dollar night, a 25% fee is $50, leaving 150.

A quarter of 200 is fifty, and 200 minus fifty is 150. Only bookings made through the platform qualify for that protection. Insurance rules can differ where you live.

2. Rent out your pool by the hour

Number two: rent out your pool by the hour, though a sports court or home space can be listed too. A request that isn't accepted or declined within twenty-four hours expires. On Swimply, you start with a host profile, with a photo of yourself and a short bio. You then add the location, and your address isn't shared until a guest books.

You describe the pool, such as indoor or outdoor, and say whether a restroom is available. You set the maximum number of guests and your prices, which can change with group size. You can start with one photo, and top hosts have about ten. Then you pick a go-live date and connect a payout account to get paid for bookings.

Hosts pay nothing to create a listing on the platform. The exact payout percentage appears in each booking's details, either before or after you accept. Forty-eight hours after a booking is completed, the payout is released. After that, it generally takes three to seven business days to reach your bank.

Pool hosts keep seventy to 80%, and the hosting fee helps cover the cost of running the marketplace. A two-hour booking at $50 an hour comes to $100. By our count, keeping seventy to 80% of that leaves seventy to $80. The service fee changes with location and booking details, so each booking shows its own percentage.

Pool rules can differ where you live.

1. Rent out your property for film and photo shoots

Number one: rent out your property for film and photo shoots, from an apartment to a warehouse. Some locations need a filming permit, and checking is the host's job. On Giggster, you can host a property you own or are authorized to represent, like a house or office. The listing rules say the property is private, accurately represented, and safe and secure.

You create the listing with the address, the type of location and the activities you will host. You also add the maximum number of people, the size, parking and amenities. Then you add photos and prices, and the review follows before publishing. The review and publishing usually takes about two to three business days.

Photoshoots usually last a few hours with fewer than fifteen people. On average, commercial shoots last about a day, with fifteen to thirty crew. Big-budget productions shoot over several days and need larger crews. The platform is designed for production professionals, and renters must have production or event insurance for every booking.

You can accept, decline, ask questions or send a custom rate for each request. Your address stays private. The platform charges a commission only on booked shoots and events, and listing is free. At the end of a booking, the platform takes 19% of the final host payout as its fee.

Renters pay in full when you accept. The payout arrives within seven days of the start, or on the last day of a multi-day booking. By our count, on a one-thousand-dollar shoot, the 19% fee is $190, leaving 810. 19% of 1,000 is 190.

Hosts also need sufficient homeowner insurance. Filming rules can differ where you live. So, seven ways to rent out what you own: JustPark for parking, Neighbor for storage, and Hipcamp for camping land. Then Getmyboat for a boat, Outdoorsy for an RV, Swimply for a pool, and Giggster for film and photo shoots.

Rules and availability differ where you live. So open the platform's own help page first, and see what it asks for in your area. Which of these do you already own? Tell us the number in the comments.
