Own GPU servers that earn rent

Buy one or a few servers through your LLC. We host them, find a customer, and run them for you.

What to know first

  • Start with one server

    One 8-GPU server is enough. Our setup fee is the same for 1 to 7.

  • Income needs a customer

    Servers earn when rented. A multi-year contract is steadier than short-term rentals.

  • Financing

    Lenders usually want about half down, unless there’s a signed customer contract.

  • Taxes

    You own the equipment. Ask your tax advisor how depreciation applies to you.

How rental income works

Most income comes from renting the GPUs to AI companies. A fixed contract for two to three years is the steadiest. Short-term rentals pay well when demand is high, and nothing when it isn’t.

We don’t promise returns. Try your own numbers in the GPU earnings calculator, then we’ll walk through them with you.

What it costs

We take no cut of your hardware or data center. Brokers often earn a percentage of what you spend. We charge flat fees, so a better price only saves you money.

Paid to vendors, in your name

  • Hardware

    Servers, networking, and shipping. Paid to the vendor, with nothing added.

  • Colocation

    Space, power, and cooling, usually on a 3-year contract. Paid to the data center.

Paid to us, flat

  • Setup fee

    $25K for 1-7 servers. Half at signing, half when live. Custom pricing for 8 or more.

  • Management fee

    From $1K a month per 4 servers. Covers monitoring, repairs, and warranty claims.

Want a customer for the GPUs? We charge 2.5% of the contract, only if it signs.

Don’t want to pay for the hardware all at once?

  • Put in half yourself, and we can usually introduce a lender for the other half.
  • Lenders want to see cash or funding of 1.5x the hardware cost. For a $550K server, you put in $275K, the lender covers $275K, and you show $825K.
