Lessons from Turo and Front-Loaded Income

One important lesson learned from Turo is that if you want your passive income to be truly passive, someone else needs to be active. In the case of Turo, the car rental business, the owner had to front-load expenses such as upfront fees and insurance costs, resulting in a loss in the first month. To make it profitable, the owner discovered they needed to have the car rented out for at least 20 to 25 days per month to cover the costs of the new car. However, it's worth considering that the car's value can still be realized if it is sold. Overall, Turo may not be a reliable source of passive income.
