Real estate side hustles comes in many different flavors, including:
Which one is best depends on your goals, available time and money to invest, and risk tolerance.
For example, while I LOVE the idea of building a mini real estate empire and having tenants pay off my mortgages, the direct cash returns and the risks involved don’t get me that excited. At least for the moment, I’ve steered toward some more passive real estate investing options.
Check out these real estate-themed posts and podcast episodes and choose which strategy makes the most sense for you.
Elizabeth Colegrove and her husband are budding real estate moguls. So far they’ve acquired 7 houses, and neither of them are 30 years old yet.
Between their 7 properties, they’re earning around $1800 in cash flow every month, and their tenants are paying off $1650 in loan principal.
But real estate investment is not without risks and Elizabeth joked that I just have easily could have called the episode 27 and $1.1 million in debt.
I was very excited to sit down with Mark Podolsky, The Land Geek, to talk about his side-hustle-turned-full-time-biz of investing in raw land.
In fact, he was able to replace his day job income and quit his job only 18 months after starting.
Mark calls it the best passive income model because you don’t have to worry about building a website, building a product, dealing with tenants, dealing with repairs, or selling a service.
Jasper Ribbers is one of the leading experts on building an Airbnb side hustle, having done it himself with his Amsterdam apartment and having co-authored the bestselling book on the topic, Get Paid for Your Pad.
(He also runs a blog and podcast by the same name.)
I was introduced to Jasper by Jesse Krieger (Episode 62, Generating Lifestyle Business Ideas That Work), and grew fascinated by his story. He gets to travel the world while his asset back at home earns roughly $60,000 a year from short-term Airbnb rentals.
J. Massey discovered real estate as a business out of necessity. He and his wife were both in poor health, and as he explains, had a 398 credit score and $75 to their name.
Then, introduced to real estate wholesaling, the picture began to turn around. This strategy allowed J. to develop some cash flow without risking his own limited assets, and he says he got started by dedicating just 2 hours a day, or 10 hours a week to this new side hustle.
In Episode 30 of The Side Hustle Show, we learn how to build a real estate wholesaling side hustle, without any experience and without risking your own money or credit score. Veteran investor Nick Ruiz shares how he earns $10,000+ per deal with his “Flipping Factory” system. This is definitely an interesting one! Subscribe to … Read more
