ADVICE

Short-Term Rentals: Not Passive

Short-term rentals require hands-on management and a willingness to do the work.
If you seek passive income, consider syndications or other truly passive investments.

ADVICE

Using VAs

Utilize virtual assistants (VAs) to manage short-term rentals more efficiently.
Learn the business yourself before delegating tasks to VAs for successful training and oversight.

The cashflow quadrant

Robert T. Kiyosaki

In 'Rich Dad's Cashflow Quadrant,' Robert T. Kiyosaki explains the four types of people when it comes to money: Employees (E), Self-employed (S), Business owners (B), and Investors (I). The book emphasizes that financial freedom is more likely achieved by moving from the left side of the quadrant (E and S) to the right side (B and I), where money works for you rather than the other way around. Kiyosaki argues that traditional education often fails to teach financial literacy, leading many to work hard for money instead of making money work for them. The book provides insights into the skills and mindsets required to succeed in the B and I quadrants, which are key to achieving true financial freedom.
