Looking for something that could be considered a side hustle for me. Where I live there are storage buildings everywhere. Gas stations selling ‘em, big box stores sells them, etc…. There’s tons of rental storage too, warehouses getting built everywhere specifically for storage…. Probably an over saturated market to even think about dipping into.

But, here I am thinking about it. Has anyone had luck in building a building in their own backyard to sell? I’m talking about something like a 6x10 and easy to transport. Solid, good quality construction with tasteful curb appeal. Likely wouldn’t sell for much more than $1000-$1500 or so. But a way better product than a production built building. I can source materials for a very good price and build it myself in spare time. Would have little money invested, just time.

Just looking at small steps in finding a good side hustle for me. Maybe a building or two a year could turn up some extra funds? Any experience or advice on this is appreciated. Thanks!

I own a residential construction business that is low key, low volume, and mostly detached garages, additions, and the occasional tiny home. Most budgets are tight and leave little room for full landscaping. I’ve been thinking for a very long time about investing in a small hydro machine to help with soil stabilization and even to help give my projects a finished look. Most of the seeding would be on prepared ground or landscape ready ground.

Just thinking a small scale hydroseeding business might be a lucrative add on for me? I could target yard repairs or fill ins while I’m not doing any of my own work. My main goal would be to stay small with it because I’d not want to be a competitor with the big commercial outfits that do large areas.

Am I thinking too far out of my lane with this little add on venture? This would definitely not be a sole source of income, more of an investment into a cash flow to help with the sporadic pay days of building.
