With pensions becoming a thing of the past, what is one relatively steady income stream that will increase over time without having money in the stock markets? This is sort of a trick question because the answer is in the title, real estate. Yes, we understand this can be a bit of a hard and fast no for some people, but today, there are many ways to make it pretty low risk and quite rewarding.  

Did you know that over the last 200 years, 90% of the world’s millionaires were created using real estate investing1? So, all we have to do is get into the real estate game to get rich? Well, not exactly. But it is wise to diversify your income sources, and if it’s not already, real estate should be among them.  

In today’s episode, we’re going to walk you through how and why you should be building a real estate empire into your portfolio. 

That includes: 

  • How to get started with your first real estate investment. 
  • What types of loans should consider? 
  • Exploring split ownership opportunities with family members.  
  • The pros and cons of rental properties and turning homes into rental properties.  
  • A glimpse at multi-family properties.  
  • Even more critical, is how much equity you should have in all your rental properties.
