For instance, you can buy a nice property and then begin to rent it out to businesses that need office space. This is a great way to set up a monthly income. And as you can imagine, once you own the property free and clear you will be pocketing the majority of the money that you collect in rent.

You need to have a particular set up in order to do this, but if this is a dream of yours search for the proper type of commercial real estate. There are many locations that give you this ability, and it can be a lot of fun to open a store of any kind.
