Hey, I’m Robert Grand with Grand Real Estate Investments out in Eugene, Oregon. Today we’re going to discuss how you can generate passive income from real estate.
There are three primary ways to achieve passive income from real estate. The first method is relatively straightforward, while the other two might require a bit more effort and creativity. But don’t worry, we’ll go over everything in detail.
Why Passive Income?
Before diving into the methods, let's understand why passive income is so beneficial:
Tax Benefits: Passive income is typically taxed at the capital gains tax rate, which is significantly lower than regular income tax rates.
Less Effort: This is income that comes in without requiring you to spend hours working for it. Imagine transitioning from your working income to passive income over the course of your career; that would be an incredible achievement.
1. Buying and Renting Out Property
The most common way to generate passive income from real estate is by buying a property and renting it out. Here’s how:
Being a Landlord:
Purchase a property and get a mortgage.
Rent out the property.
The difference between your costs and the rental income is your passive income.
For instance, if a property generates $300 a month in passive income and you acquire ten such properties, you’ll have $3,000 a month rolling in without extra effort.
Steps to Get Started
Research and Buy: Identify the right property that fits your budget and has good rental potential.
Financing: Get a mortgage.
Renting: Find tenants and rent out the property.
2. Becoming the Bank
Another excellent way to earn passive income is by becoming the lender.
How to Do This:
Loan a chunk of money on real estate.
The borrower pays you interest, similar to how a bank collects mortgage payments.
Since the majority of payments during the first 10-15 years of a mortgage are interest payments, you'll get a significant amount of passive income.
Steps to Get Started
Accumulate Capital: Have a significant amount of money to loan out.
Loan Underwriting: Evaluate the property and the borrower to mitigate risk.
Mortgage Setup: Structure a loan with an appropriate interest rate and term.
3. Owner Financing
Lastly, you can offer owner financing on a property you own. This means you sell a property but finance the deal yourself rather than having the buyer get a traditional mortgage.
Benefits:
You set the property price.
You receive regular interest income as the “bank”.
Like the second method, holding the note allows you to collect interest payments, which can be a substantial source of passive income.
Steps to Get Started
Property Ownership: Own a property outright or with significant equity.
Agree to Finance: Structure the sale with owner financing terms.
Interest Payments: Receive monthly payments including interest.
Conclusion
These are the top three ways to generate passive income from real estate: buying and renting out property, becoming the bank, and offering owner financing.
