How to Make Monthly Income: 3 Methods for Real Estate Investors

How to Make Monthly Income: 3 Methods for Real Estate Investors

Have you always wanted to learn how to make monthly income? Well, today we explore 3 methods for real estate investors.

As a real estate investor, you likely believe cash flow is king. Because why else would you put your hard-earned money into value-add propertied?

Hopefully, a lot of it.

But let’s take a step back and ask ourselves:

“What is cash flow?”

Because, the truth is, all of us have different goals, expectations, and perspectives when it comes to making money off our investments.

There tends to be 3 popular approaches to cash flow. These include:

  1. Putting less money down
  2. Making monthly income
  3. Using cash-out refinancing to gain the most leverage

All of these cash flow methods share two common similarities:

  • Using the BRRRR method.
  • Buying discounted properties (non-MLS listed properties).

Let’s take a closer look at the second cash flow approach:

Making monthly income.

3 EASY Ways to Make Monthly Income in Real Estate

This is probably the most common strategy among real estate investors, because most of them like to create a consistent monthly income. Why? Well, probably because they want to:

  • Replace a full-time job;
  • Supplement their current income;
  • Or create a nice sized nest egg for their future.

Let’s look at an example.

Jane the Investor doesn’t mind putting SOME money down at closing. And, on top of using the BRRRR method and buying discounted properties, she tends to focus on 3 methods to ensure she makes positive monthly income.

What are these 3 methods? Well, let’s take a look.

  1. Focus on maintaining a healthy credit score. The higher your credit, the better your rates, which means you pay less money to the banks and keep more money in your pocket. Every. Month.
  2. Choose investor-friendly real estate lenders who offer options. We’re not just talking about one or two options, but many. More options means better financing. And better financing means, yet again, less money to the bank and more money in your pocket.
  3. Invest in higher quality properties. That means putting some work into a value-add property so it’s, well, nicer. Nicer properties tend to draw tenants who treat the property, well, nicer! They’re more respectful and cause less damage than tenants who rent lower quality properties. Better yet, when a property looks nicer, it tends to be more desirable. That means demand increases and you can charge a higher rent. And higher rent means higher cash flow.

So, there you have it! If you’re looking to generate solid, consistent, monthly income, then this would be a great strategy to take.

3 Ways to Make More Money: How to Triple Your Cash Flow

If you constantly dream of living your ideal life, but keep coming up against obstacles, then check out these 3 ways to make more money and starting tripling your cash flow.

 

Here are 3 ways you can start making more money today:

Boost your credit score.

Maybe you’ve heard this before, maybe you haven’t, but it bears repeating again and again.

Your credit score matters.

A lot!

The products you have access to, and the interest rates you pay all stem from your credit score. Which means your score can cost you thousands of dollars if it’s not high enough. It can also cost you the real estate loan you need.

We’re not talking about a 50-point difference. We’re talking about a single point. That’s right. Just one! For example, a score of 680 will get you a traditional conforming loan, but a score of 679 won’t.

That’s just one point.

So, what can you do to start boosting your credit? Well, here are a few tips:

  • Go private
  • Get authorized
  • Pay extra

Buy Discounted Properties

You can do what most people do and find a full-priced property on the MLS. Or you can connect with a wholesaler and take advantage of under market properties (aka, discounted properties).

Get out of your hard money loans.

If you buy a property through a wholesaler, or if you can’t obtain a traditional loan through a bank quite yet, then chances are you’ll need a hard money loan.

And, yes, hard money loans are expensive. So, you don’t want to get stuck in one too long. But maybe you ARE stuck right now. Well, you can boost your cash flow by finding a way out.

And there are options for everyone. That includes real estate investors who:

  • Haven’t been self-employed for more than 2-years.
  • Like to write everything off on their taxes.
  • Or haven’t owned a value-add property for more than a year.

These are just 3 ways you can triple your cash flow. And we can help you with each one!

Happy investing!
