Gustav Mayer House, Saint Stephens Place, Staten Island, New York
I recently read about a house that nets its owner over a million dollars in only 21 days of the year. During October, it becomes a haunted house attraction. (The profit may be a little less after clearing the bills for all that zombie makeup and animatronic monsters, though.) The 1855 Gustav Mayer House in Staten Island has enjoyed a similar money-making scheme, but with more of a year-round approach.
