The true goal of every investor should be to create as much massive
passive income as soon as possible.
Passive income means just that, money that comes into your house
month in/ month out without you having to do a thing to get it. How can
you accumulate massive passive income quickly?
Well, if you went out and bought a couple dozen single family houses
and kept them, you would create a decent income. Good but not great.
Its' going to take you a little time to find all of these deals and
then you would have to manage all of those tenants.
What if you put a couple dozen units in the same property? Then you
would only have to find one deal and then a few more to create a great
passive income.
I know what youre thinking. Oh no, not apartments! I dont want to
deal with the tenant hassles! And I agree with you, you shouldnt be
dealing with any tenants, wouldnt it be better if you could just sit
back and collect checks while someone else deals with all of the
management headaches?
Those people are called management companies and they make a living
shielding investors from the day to day management of their properties
so you can go out and continue to do what you do best, find more
property and create more cash flow!
But arent they expensive? Its true that management companies are
paid a percentage of the gross collected rents, somewhere between 6% and
10%, though if you factor this cost into the deal, as long as the
property cash flows with these fees, youve got yourself a winner!
Not only have you found a property that will get you one step closer
to true freedom, you dont have to hassle with a single tenant.
But dont the management companies nickel and dime all of your
profits away? While it's true that there are some bad management
companies out there, you can be assured to find a good one if you follow
these simple steps.
Go to www.irem.com. Thats the Institute For Real Estate Management,
a great resource. When there, go into the search box and search for a
Certified Property Manager (CPM).
These are owners and managers who have taken time out of their busy
schedule and taken a series of required courses to improve their
management knowledge and skills. Upon the completion of these courses,
they take a big test and then they are awarded the CPM designation.
These managers are the cream of the crop and these are the ones that
you want to have managing your properties. They will send you a summary
report each month, telling you how the property is performing and the
only thing you have left to do is to go cash youre checks while youre
out finding more properties for your portfolio!
