On Monday, March 4, a new way to generate some income from your property was introduced. Launching from Suffield, Events at HOME (your dream home for your dream day) offers homeowners the opportunity to rent out their private land, house or barn for weddings, events and corporate gatherings a few times per year. No sleepovers are allowed, and rental rates are by the hour. A typical profit for a home owner ranges from $600–$900 for a 12-hour land rental (no home access) to $1,200–$1,800 for a 12-hour rental which includes access to both the house and the land. If you own a waterfront estate with all the bells and whistles, the hourly rate ranges between $600 and $800 which can quickly add up to over $9,000 for a single day event.
