In today’s post I want to look at a few little-known passive income strategies that I have been loving lately.
In a time when inflation is quickly eroding away so much of our hard-earned money each month, it is nice to have found some investments that are not only keeping pace with inflation, but greatly out-performing it.
Disclaimer: I am not your financial advisor, so this isn’t financial advice for you. Any investment has risk, so be wise and make smart decisions about, if, where, and how much to invest.
That said, I will tell you exactly what I have done and what my actual returns have been with each of these 3 strategies. I actually have my own money invested in each of these. I personally really like each of these strategies (which is why I am sharing) and am planning on adding more money to each.
If you are looking for a general beginner’s course to get started investing then I recommend checking out my 10x Investing course. This is a great first step if you are new to investing as some of the strategies below might be too advanced.
Ok, with that out of the way, let’s get to it!
1. Fundrise (crowdfunded Real Estate)
I’ll start with the safest one of the bunch.
Fundrise is a crowdfunded Real Estate platform that has been around since 2010.
The gist of how it works is that instead of needing to come up with all the money to buy your own rental property, you can pool your money with other investors and have world-class real estate investors invest for you.
I personally started using them about 4 years ago and once I realized that I was getting a better return with them than my rental property, I sold my rental property and made Fundrise my primary Real Estate investment.
In 2021 the average return with Fundrise was just about 23%, which is just crazy. And they admit that they don’t expect it to always be that high. But I am interested to see what it ends up at once 2022 finishes out.
At the time of this writing we are about half-way through 2022 and it is looking like it won’t be as strong as the last year, but it still looks like it will be a good year.
If I look back at my actual last 4 years’ performance with them it has been a little over 13% avg annual return with a 55% total return.
2. Automated trading bot strategy
This one falls into a riskier category mostly because it involves crypto. But if done right, it can be one of the safest ways to invest in crypto.
The gist of this strategy is that you are creating AI bots that are passively trading small amount of crypto for you 24 hrs a day. And with each trade you might earn 50 cents, but that change adds up to a lot over time.
I did a full blog post review about this bot trading strategy here, or you can just watch this video for a lot more info about it all.
If you just want to see the numbers, here is a snapshot of some of my recent returns:
Currently I have 2 bots running.
The yellow circle shows the profit each of the bots have earned. The orange circle shows how long they have been running. And the blue circle shows how much they have earned in total.
So breaking this down, the 2nd bot (ETH) has earned me 11.46% in the past 1 month and 11 days which is just amazing to get a return like that in a month and a half. The other bot hasn’t been as exciting at 1.2% in 19 days, but that still adds up to a pretty great annual return.
What I love about this strategy is that is is VERY passive and requires about an hour of my time every couple months. And I love that these little bots make money even when the crypto markets are going down.
I actually learned this strategy in a course I took that taught me everything I know. It only opens for enrollment a couple times a year and is currently closed, but if you are interested drop your email below and I’ll send you an email next time they open up enrollment.
Anyway, those are my 2 current favorite passive investments that have been crushing it for the last year or so.
Hope this helps!
