Used Appliance Flipping
Buy or collect free used appliances (washers, dryers, fridges) and resell them for profit. Source from Facebook Marketplace free listings, delivery driver connections at big box stores like Costco/Lowes/Home Depot (drivers sell old units for ~$15-20 each), or broken units you can repair. Front-load washers sell for $200 within a day. Parts from one broken unit can fix 8+ other machines.

Couch Flipping on Facebook Marketplace
Buy used couches cheaply (or get them for free) from motivated sellers on Facebook Marketplace and Craigslist/Kijiji, then resell them at a markup. Focus on premium brands like Restoration Hardware and La-Z-Boy, using geographical arbitrage by buying in cities and selling in suburban/rural areas where supply is low. Offer delivery service for additional revenue.
