Cleaning or Landscaping Service
One business model that could yield serious money in five years, according to Shan Abbasi, director of business development at PayCompass, is a cleaning or landscaping service company. “Househelp is extremely expensive, yet people pay for the convenience,” he explained.
If you can build a service team and market your offerings to a high-income audience, you can easily score service contracts and earn recurring revenue for your company.
“One of our registered merchants, a landscaping company, easily clocks $300,000-$400,000 in their MRR, with only 25-35 clients in their metro-suburban area,” he said. “Imagine if you grow that company and cater to multiple metropolitan cities, the MRR can easily reach millions, and there are almost 30%-50% margins based on the operating location.”This business model is appealing to the middle class because the overhead costs of starting such a company are very low. The majority of your money, time and effort will go toward marketing and securing contracts.

Fractional Real Estate Syndication Platform
According to Dennis Shirshikov, professor of finance at the City University of New York and head of growth and engineering at Growth Limit, fractional real estate syndication is a method that democratizes access to institutional-grade properties by enabling investors to purchase shares in pre-vetted deals.
“If you successfully build a frictionless online portal that your deal flow is funneled through, and for KYC and distributions, you can scale AUM very quickly and charge a fat 2% annual fee that magically converts AUM growth into healthy revenue streams,” he said.
This could be a good way to reach millionaire status within five years as real property continues to be a core vehicle for wealth creation and syndication sites do away with accreditation barriers and operational drag.
Niche Health and Wellness Marketplace
Another strategy that could make you a millionaire in five years involves focusing on underserved wellness segments, where traditional platforms miss certain certification and compliance needs.
“By vetting providers, taking care of scheduling, payments, and follow-up, you can take a 15% to 20% commission on all bookings and build an extremely engaged community,” Shirshikov said.
Now that people are turning toward preventive, specialized treatments, they may be more likely to pay a premium for niche expertise that can be administered conveniently.
