Pretty much as above. Am Mortgage free, no income as I will be a stay at home dad as of Jan, 34 years of age, wife will be earning more than enough to cover all domestic expenses.
Ideally it will be something I can do from home.

Thanks.

I would personally do window tinting or wrap install. Even cheaper and can be done with a few $100 startup cost and mobile is headlight restoration (I do this, a fixed location is a great asset but not necessary).

Ecommerce can also be started with not much money. And if you have a good product you will make sales and profit. Been doing this with motorcycle parts for years, commercial lights for about a year. I'm not a master marketer but the products are in demand and my prices are good so it sells. Doesnt take much time after you figure out your products and set up your sales channels.

If you're willing to get dirty you have a lot of options. Fence building, shed building, garage door / automation install, tiling, flooring, painting, any type of cleaning, landscaping, plumbing, electrics, welding, building cabinets. Literally whatever works.

Ultimately you have to figure out what YOU are willing to learn, tolerate to do for a long time, have any tyoe of passion towards, have the resources for.

Agree with the vehicle wrap business. You will need to advertise locally. If you do high-quality wraps on time and at a competitive price, you can write your own paycheck. You will need some equipment, but you should be able to get everything you need for around $10,000 if you start off with used equipment.
