I agree with you. Property investment seems to be really profitable, but one has to be careful in choosing the location of the property and also the tenants too. When I was a student looking for house to rent with some friends, I found that many house owners do not like to rent the house to students or sometimes singles, they would prefer to rent the house to family. Now I understand why. :lol:

What I did was buy a used house and converted it to office space that I leased to my own company. The company paid it off and when I sold it, I kept all the profit for my retirement. I also sold it on a contract, so I made interest until it was paid off.

Another option today is to rent or lease digital property. To buy in is almost nothing and there is no real maintenance. I have had many auto dealers lease websites from me that I created for free and they pay me monthly fees for many years.

Renting apartment or even house can be very good passive income. Although, you need to do maintenance and keep check of their tenants for any rules or policies so they will still do something.

Even if you are picky with tenants, there's no guarantee. People lose their jobs suddenly or they have a crisis and have to use their savings. Plus you have to consider the damage and wear and tear.

If we are looking at it from a business POV, I guess getting some thousand dollars worth of rent every month is worth the occasion wear and tear/damage, but the stress and problems it might cause might not be worth it. The risk is high and sometimes landlords and tenants might even have to go to court to solve their problems.

Tell that to my Aunt who is living like a queen. The maintenance don't bother her at all because it is minimal compared to running a restaurant where you have employees and you have to pay their healthcare and give them salaries. It is easy compare to running a transport business where all the air pollution in the world will be absorbed by your lungs.

That is our retirement plan - build an apartment with 3 or 4 units and rent it out. Our subsistence will be handled by the rent until our old age.

You also need to be careful who you will accept into apartment. I saw examples where people do a lot of damage in rented apartment.

My Aunt knows the nooks and crannies of getting tenants. She wanted to see a bank account, proof of their monthly salary and they have to pay advance for the 1st 3 months. She also evict people with no hesitation. She doesn't care if it's winter.

exactly, in this case you really need to have a strict rules for each tenant. They shpuld have atleast 3 months deposit in case they will never be able to pay for the nex months. once they have reach the 3rd month of not payingnthe rental, they should leave

Yes but before there you must have good capital but once you've built them you're good to go.

When you have your own land and building it's easier to have investment. But if both it will be difficult to find capital for that or starting from scratch.

I think so too. You have monthly income while the apartment is still yours. I am planning to have that business in the future!

Congratulations to your relatives.Owning apartment(s) can be a great business,if you want to rent it or them,but it is a big responsibility as well,but I think it is worth it,if you can earn that much in a month.

It is not as big of a responsibility compared to a Restaurant where the maintenance is more frequent and you have employees to deal with. It is also better than being an employee with a boss bossing you around.
