Never a bad time for passive income

As small business owners, we often find ourselves trying to balance work, life, hobbies, mental health, etc… the trade-off is either being great at work or being great at life, and some of us with a one-track mind and focus, tend to struggle to detach ourselves from work to be present with our families… Ouch. Not cool dad...

So what’s the answer? What should my goals be? I want to provide for my family, create a legacy of hard work and sacrifice so my kids have a great example to follow, but if I’m never around them how can they learn from me? I don’t want them to make all the mistakes I did!

You’ll meet some people that are driven and focused, they’re moving and shaking! They provide for their kids and even their grandkids, build huge companies, maybe they own a boat they never use, always a little preoccupied with business. Then there are people that claim they don’t care about money, just want to spend time with their family, it seems honorable, but maybe they live with a certain amount of uncertainty, never able to totally relax because the wolf is never far from the door, and the end result for both of these people is they end up stressed about money in one way or another.

What if the solution is outside of whether we’re building a great company or barely making ends meet at a dead-end job? What if there was a way to invest that allowed us to live in a way that aligned with our priorities, even if that’s spending most of our time with our kids, without giving up having a retirement?

It’s called passive investing. And it’s available to you if you’re reading this. How it works is a team of people put together a company that buys a property, in order to fund the property they use what’s called a syndicate. 

Syndicate: a group organized for a common purpose … to promote a common interest or to carry out a particular business transaction…

What this does is create an opportunity for people to use smaller amounts of money (typically a minimum of $50k or so) to invest in institutional quality assets, competing directly with large investment groups, accessing returns and tax benefits that aren’t available on the stock market or in any other of the more conventional investments of the general public. 

If you think doubling your investment in five years sounds unattainable, that is exactly what our team shoots for, through a combination of cash flow, and value added through strategic property improvements, which are realized at the end of the hold period when the property is either refinanced or sold. There is risk in any investment, so this is not a guarantee of future results, but we have had success in the past with these projections.
