Do you want to meet and greet famous actors and actresses who could very well become some of your closest friends? Yes, it sounds too good to be true but this is actually possible! Just rent out your home to a film crew.

Film crews usually look for properties that fit the specifications of those that will be used as a set in their productions. Typically, location managers look for large homes with big rooms, a road the provides convenient access, adequate parking facilities, and friendly neighbours that do not mind the intrusion of a large crew. But there are also cases in which the studio prefers using an ordinary home, especially if the property has something unique in it such as being decorated with furniture from the ’50s or having a vegetable garden with a unique concept. If you think your property can fit the criteria, contact a movie studio’s locations department, your local film commission, or national location library and state that you are allowing the use of your property as a film set. These entities will send you a form about your home that you need to fill up.

There are lots of advantages when you decide to undergo this endeavour. First, you can earn a lot of money without doing a lot. In fact, you can earn on an average of about 1,000 to 2,000 pounds per day of shooting. Another advantage is that crews sometimes refurbish or renovate the house according to the set that is needed. That is a free home improvement project for you! Lastly, you will have lots of opportunity to meet actors, actresses, and important people in the film industry if you hang around during the filming. In fact, you might even be asked to act as an extra!
