Other investments<br />

There are a variety of investments that can yield returns and eventually create a small fortune for the owner<br />

in addition to those previously mentioned. But most of these are for the eventual success entirely depends on<br />

how much time and skill owner contributes with. And these will be such a big part of life that it is rather a<br />

case of a lifestyle change than an investment. For it, in my opinion, to be a matter of an investment, the<br />

income that the object generates shall not be linked to the number of hours the owner puts into the business.<br />

For example, according to this definition is not an investment to buy a grill kiosk and manage it yourself.<br />

However, it is an investment to buy a multifamily house even if it is run down and renovated by the owner.<br />

In the following a number of such investments are discusses.<br />

Forest and land<br />

Forest and farmland are quantified in hectares (ha). A hectare is 100 x 100 meters, for example, is something<br />

more than a football filed, which is 0.7 ha. Traditionally forest land is valued based on the total volume of<br />

wood of all the trees on the property put together. This volume, in a volume measure called forrst cubic<br />

meters (m 3 sk), is then multiplied with a value that depends mainly on things like the general economy for the<br />

moment and where the property is located, but also the tree species and their average age.<br />
