 It's that simple and it's that hard. You know, but the lure of the stupidity on Tic Tac telling you that you've got to have a rental property. Oh, and then they say never sell it. It's passive income. I got your passive income. $30,000 worth of renovation. There's your passive income. And it was paid off. That teaches you there's nothing passive about owning real estate. It's very active.
