I want to buy something that people can then rent. It would have to be profitable. Any ideas? (alien.top)

Only ideas I can think of are boucehouse, tables/chairs, and a photo booth. Is there anything else that would be good to rent out? I don't really have any special skills in particular just have some money to invest in something.
Thanks!

Why is this the business you want to get into? Arbitrage (what a rental business is) is notoriously high risk, thin margins. Sure when it works it can be great, but when it doesn't it can ruin you. You're laying out capital to purchase a depreciating asset while having to hustle constantly to bring in revenue from it while praying nothing goes wrong.
