Fallout 4 – Can Money Be Made From Settlements?

fallout-4

I know that building the shops in your settlements allow you to sell items and are convenient, but do they allow you to make money?

Do I need to take a certain perk before I can start making money?

Can I make money only with certain shops?

Do I have to invest in them before I make money?

If I CAN make money from them, how do I collect it?
