According to the Joint Center for Housing Studies at
Harvard, renters made up 31% of households in 2004. By
2012, that number climbed to 35%. The rentership rate
for people between 30 and 64 is the highest it has been in
over 30 years! And professional management allows you
to enjoy the returns on your investment without having to
deal with the daytoday stress of being a landlord.
When we buy a quality property in a safe neighbor
hood near jobs and good schools in a solid market, and
then rent that property to a qualified tenant for more than
the expenses, we create a lifelong passive income steam
for ourselves.
And every single year we do this,
we get a raise because rents are
increasing along with inflation.
There are obviously some tricks to
doing it right so that the rental
property is truly passive. But those
tricks are easy to learn. Make sure the
home is fully renovated to likenew
condition so that you don’t have to
deal with ongoing repairs. Buy near
employments centers in low crime
areas with good schools. And look for
property where rents are 1% of
purchase price in order to get enough
cash flow to cover expenses.
If you live in California or other
highpriced markets, finding a property that meets this
description is nearly impossible. California property is
not known for cash flow. In fact, most Californians don’t
even know the term! They only know appreciation (or
devastation when the market turns). They do not know
the concept of investing for monthly passive income
because it simply doesn’t exist in highpriced markets.
instantly via your phone. The need to drive by your
property every day has become obsolete.
At Real Wealth Network, we believe in having a much
bigger backyard! We search the entire country for areas that
are ripe for investment. We look for areas with job and
population growth, affordability and landlord friendly laws.
Mostly, we want to invest in these areas where rents are
much higher than the expenses so that investors can pocket
the difference as monthly passive “cash flow.”
It’s a Seller’s Market in California – Time to SELL
and EXCHANGE for Something Better
The way to get rich is to buy low and sell high.
If you already own real estate in a highpriced market,
this is a good time to SELL since
you can ask for top dollar and get
multiple offers. Then, with your
profits, you can turn around and
BUY LOW in areas that are still up
and coming.
We are currently helping many
of our Real Wealth Network
members to take advantage of the
IRS 1031 exchange that allows
them to sell their lowperforming
investment properties and
exchange them TAX DEFERRED
for much higher cashflowing
property. They are thrilled to
discover they can triple and even
quadruple their monthly income, and in many cases, are
able to retire NOW, years and even decades earlier than
they expected!
Passive investment in real estate can be one of the most
powerful options available to the average person. ♦

CREATING A MUCH BIGGER BACKYARD
While many “real estate gurus” say that people should
look for investments in their own back yard,
unfortunately that doesn’t work for people who live in
highpriced markets.
But thankfully, we live in a world that has become
much smaller thanks to technologies like Google Earth,
cheap nonstop flights and the ability to send photos
