Everyone wants to make money in a fast and easy way, but the best way to build true wealth is to build residual income. Residual or passive income is simply put, money that you get while doing nothing. This article presents 3 ways to build residual income.
1. Real Estate – Although the real estate market is supposedly bad, it is only bad for the people trying to sell their real estate. Really, the only outlet for sellers are those who are first time homebuyers or people who can afford to put 20% or more as a down payment. This creates a situation where sellers cannot sell, and buyers cannot buy. However, if the monthly payment is low enough, a home can rented for more than the monthly mortgage payment.
This situation creates a positive cash flow or a stream of passive income. In the right situations, this can create several hundreds of dollars of monthly income. Most people think about a situation like this for vacation properties, but it is just as applicable for normal residential properties, especially in a market like today’s where there are a lot of renters. It is also applicable for commercial properties too, and the returns could be multiplied to where some people earn over $10,000 a month in residual income.
2. Interest – This is not as applicable in today’s market, but one way to build passive income is through compounded interest. A certain amount of money in a savings or IRA account will build interest every year. That amount will be added to the original principal and the following year interest is paid on the combined amount. This process continues, but it is very slow, which is why it is often used for retirement funds.
The problem with this type of income is that it is market based. Many retirement funds such as 401k’s or IRA’s are tied to the financial markets. When the markets slip, these funds lose value. During the recent economic downturn, it was estimated that at one point Americans as a whole had lost some $60 Billion in retirement funds. Even in savings accounts or high interest accounts, the rates of interest are often less than the rate of inflation. Though the account may be earning money, in the long term, it is posting a loss.
3. Affiliates – Though it takes a bit more work on the front end, being an affiliate marketer can generate passive income. There are many products that will pay commissions for initial sales, but also for continuing memberships. Thus, most of the work must be done up front to generate sales, while on the back end a marketer will continue to collect on the repeat commission every month.
There are other ways to build residual income, but the methods presented here are the most practical. Not all of us can receive royalties on music or written media, but many of us can have a home-based Internet business or invest in real estate. The decision comes down to what makes the most sense and what will generate the most amount of passive income.
