My favorite idea is a house building project using my own novel house designs. I have talked to both architects and developers with the same result from all of them: "That's very nice, but they won't sell." So my revised plan is to build them and then rent them out. Then all the risk of ownership of unusual houses is on me and not on the occupant of the dwelling. Returns would be slow... it takes a lot longer to recoup your investment on a house from renting it than it would from selling it. But I think with enough of them, income would be substantial and my reputation would be assured. I might even get some interest from people who want an unusual home design who would hire me to build something for them.
Idea: real estate investment
Cost: ≈$180K per house for 10-20 houses
Return: ≈$1,500 per house per month times occupancy rate minus expenses, indefinitely
