Investing in Real Estate for Passive Income: How to Do It Right

Introduction

If you’re contemplating the idea of purchasing an out-of-state rental property in the U.S., you’re in the right place. If generating passive income is your goal, we’re here to demystify the path to financial freedom and guide you on how to do it right. Let’s explore the advantages of buying and holding rental properties as a primary source of passive income.

What is Passive Income from a Rental Property?

In simple terms, passive income is the money earned from rental properties without active involvement in day-to-day operations.

It’s a strategy that allows you to build wealth over time while enjoying a steady stream of income that you’re not actively working for. There are a number of advantages of doing this, below are just some of them...

Advantages of Investing in Real Estate for Passive Income

1) Steady Cash Flow:

Owning residential rental properties provides a consistent and reliable source of monthly income. Unlike most other investment options, real estate allows you to enjoy a steady stream of cash flow, contributing to financial stability.

2) Wealth Building:

Real estate has long been recognized as a powerful wealth-building tool. Property values tend to appreciate over time, allowing you to build equity and accumulate wealth while you’re collecting your passive income each month.

3) Tax Advantages:

Investing in real estate comes with various tax benefits, including deductions for mortgage interest, property taxes, and the ability to depreciate your rental property even if it’s appreciating in value. Most of our clients legally pay no tax on their passive income due to these benefits.

4) Portfolio Diversification:

Real estate provides an opportunity to diversify your investment portfolio, spreading risk across different asset classes. This diversification can enhance the overall stability of your investment strategy.

Initial Capital Requirements

One common question aspiring real estate investors have is, "How much initial capital is typically required?" If you qualify for a conventional 80% mortgage, and you are buying a turnkey rental property for $125,000, then your cash out of pocket could be as low as $25,000 plus closing costs! While the specific amount varies based on a variety of factors, we can assist you in understanding the upfront costs and creating a realistic budget tailored to your investment goals.

Strategic Location Selection

Choosing properties in areas with strong job markets, optimal price-to-rent ratios, low property taxes, high rental demand, and potential for future growth is crucial for sustained passive income. Maverick Investor Group specializes in identifying the most “investor advantaged” real estate markets in the U.S..

What is the Average Passive Income From a Rental Property?

The amount of passive income you can expect from owning a rental property varies based on a variety of factors, including were you buy, whether you get a mortgage, what rate and terms you lock in for your financing, and what your expenses are (how much are the property taxes, does the community have an HOA fee or not), etc.  We have specific examples of available properties for sale that you can review here, with all of these financials itemized out.  You will also see our cash-flow calculator there which allows you to make adjustments to see what the passive income and ROI would look like under different scenarios. We are here to answer any questions you have about it and to help you estimate potential rental income based on your investment goals.

Income Stability in Rental Real Estate

Compared to other investment options, residential investment properties offer unique income stability. As long as you buy right, your monthly rental payments should cover all of your expenses and contribute to a consistent net positive cash flow.  This flows to you each month regardless of what the housing market is doing, providing financial security and monthly income even in volatile economic conditions.

What is the Best Way to Invest in Real Estate for Passive Income?

Buying and holding long term rentals is much more passive than short term rentals (which ostensibly means running a hospitality business).  And, buying long term rental properties “turnkey” means that you are not the one doing the renovations or being the landlord.  So, that is why our clients all like to buy and hold “turnkey” residential investment property for the long term.  We also work with you on an individual basis and tailor your plan and strategy to your individual goals and financial situation, ensuring the most suitable approach for long-term success.

How to Build Passive Income with Real Estate

Portfolio building is the name of the game.  Holding your rental property for the long term means that you can raise your rents year over year and increase your passive residual income as time goes on.  And, buying more properties means you add additional streams of passive income over time.  So, continuing to both hold your rental properties and acquire more will compound your passive income until it covers all of your expenses and you are financially free. 

How to Invest in Real Estate for Passive Income

Step 1 is to schedule a consult with us so that we can get to know you, understand your investing goals, buying criteria, risk tolerance, and help you develop a portfolio-building plan that is right for you.  At the conclusion of the consult we can point you towards additional educational materials that relate to your needs, get you access to private buying opportunities that meet your criteria, introduce you to lenders that can get you qualified for financing, and support you through the buying process. 

Risks and Challenges

While the rewards of real estate investing are significant, it's essential to be aware of potential risks and challenges. Factors such as repairs, vacancies, market fluctuations, and property management issues, can all impact your investment. We have extensive resources on risk mitigation strategies that can help you navigate challenges effectively.  The most important strategy for reducing your up-front risk is to purchase a ‘turnkey’ rental property that is already renovated and tenanted, so you close on a performing asset and start generating your passive income immediately.
