Many times it takes a strong business base to set up passive investment income streams. It's a lot of up front work, knowledge, and skills to make it all happen.Rarely I have seen automatically machines built in printing money with passive effort.
It is more like leveraged effort rather than passive income, that once you get a worthwhile business system set up you are making high business income per unit time that is not achievable through working a job selling your time.
There are elements that could be passive, like creative works pumped by social media algo, customer getting you referral for new business, happy clients clicking renewal button, personal assistant taking care of admin work while you can focus on more impactful value creation…but the work itself its far from passive.
My trust deed business is that way. It starts with a lot of research and marketing. I learned to do that in my RE career by "bird-dogging" properties -- locating the right properties and contacting the owners. In this situation, I am looking for a specific type of RE security to purchase/assign that the owner wants to sell. Then I rely on my expertise as a RE appraiser to know how much to offer the seller for that particular security instrument -- different types of properties have different risk levels. I make a deal which requires me to use my selling skills. When the agreement is made, I combine using my own legal paperwork skills with running the escrow & title work through a professional company. I can do that paperwork rather than hiring an attorney because I went to law school. I solve any title problems during the escrow, if possible. Then, when everything is ready, I close the escrow, taking ownership of the trust deed. I end up with a passive income stream. Sounds easy, uh?
