You may have considered renting out your land. It may be a great idea, but first you will need some tips for real estate owners wanting to lease their land.
Many farmers are in need of more land to produce their crops. They may offer to lease your land for a larger crop than they had the year before, because they now have the following and customers. This could be a great opportunity for a land owner, because you are giving the farmer a chance to improve his living, and also allowing him to provide food to others. When the harvesting time comes along, you might want to speak to this farmer about exchanging some produce for some money back.
A billboard company lease may be a fine way to make a monthly profit. The billboard company will make a profit, too, of course. But in this instance, your land would need to have road frontage with lots of traffic that would be reading the billboard. It must make sense for this company to place their billboard opportunity there, and in turn, it will make sense for another company to take advantage of that billboard spot and advertise there.
If you are in a remote area, you may contact some cellular phone companies who may want to use your land to build a tower. These leases are typically ten to twenty years.
Others may want to build on your property, and they will be happy to construct a building while they are leasing the land. Once their building is complete, they will continue to lease the property and use the building for their business. In this case, the land must be in a commercial area, or perhaps the planning board in the area will permit a variance, or change the zoning to suit the one leasing.
When they are through building, they open their business and establish it right there on your lot. When their lease is over and they leave, the building becomes yours to keep. If their business is well-established there, they may never leave, and your income will increase in increments. If they leave, and you continue to maintain the building, it should bring you more income every year.
There are always people looking to open up a camp for kids, or to have a place to hunt or fish. Some of them would gladly lease the land, whether just for the hunting season, or every year, or on a regular basis for years.

So check out the tips for real estate owners wanting to lease their land, and you will find many opportunities available to you.
