Basically the EV charging gets spread out at times of day when there's capacity.Happy to set anyone in the SF Bay Area up with that.

A few things to keep in mind:Section 8 requires the property to pass an inspection based on HUD’s Housing Quality Standards (basically making sure it’s safe and well-maintained).The rent you charge has to align with Fair Market Rents (FMRs) in your area, so it’s good to check what similar properties are renting for.You’ll still be responsible for maintaining the property, but the upside is that a chunk of the rent is guaranteed by the government, which can provide steady income.Check with the local housing authority about any specifics for your area—every jurisdiction does things a little differently.This could be a great niche if you can find a good deal on the land and make sure your expenses (like maintenance, insurance, and occasional vacancies) are covered by the rental income.

You could charge access fees or offer day passes for off-road adventures.Lease for Cell Towers: If the location is right, telecommunications companies might be interested in leasing a small portion of your land to install a cell tower.Event Space: If you can make it picturesque or add basic amenities, the land could be rented out for events such as weddings, retreats, or festivals.
