Can You Outgrow Rent-To-Rent?

I have done over 40 Rent-to-Rent deals in the last two and a half years. I’ve managed to replace my income and helped friends and family out of work. We decide when we get up, what we do, how we do it, and that’s the power of passive income. I won’t lie to you, there are times when it is less passive, but it’s significantly more passive than working 40 hours a week.

Is Rent-To-Rent Passive Or Another Job?

So, how passive is rent to rent? The first thing I want to point out as a disclaimer is it depends on what you're comparing it to. If you are working a 40 hour work week, is Rent-to-Rent passive? Yes. I have never spent 40 hours per week on my business. I would struggle to find that amount of time. Don't get me wrong, and I could probably find that amount of time to work on the business and perfect the systems right to make it more hands-off for me.

What Is The BRRR Property Strategy?

This podcast episode is dedicated to the BRRR strategy. I specialise in Rent-to-Rent; however, I'm very strategic in how I spend the money I earn from my Rent-to-Rent properties. You need to be careful about how you spend your money. It's my personal belief that you should re-invest that money into assets.
