Appliance Delivery and Installation Service
Partner with scratch-and-dent appliance stores by posting your phone number and flyers at their locations. When customers buy large appliances (washers, dryers, fridges) but have no way to transport or install them, you deliver and install for $100-$200+ per job. Requires a vehicle with a hitch and trailer or a truck, plus a stair climber dolly ($800) for upper floors. Stores welcome this since they want to offer options but do not handle delivery themselves.

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.
