My Sea Lion is barking: Private Equity and REITs
Recently, I took a 6-week vacation with my family, and one of the highlights was seeing these adorable sea lions on the coast of California. My lifestyle depends on passive income from real estate. My money works for me even while I sleep, allowing me to enjoy more time with my family on such wonderful adventures.
I am a firm believer in passive income, and there are several good ways to achieve it. A solid financial plan includes diversification across different investments. Today, I’m discussing private equity investments and REITs.
A Real Estate Investment Trust (REIT) is a publicly traded company on the stock market, and they generally pay dividends when you own shares of the company. An example would be Simon Property Group, one of the largest mall builders in America. Chances are, you’ve shopped in a mall built by them. It’s a reliable way to earn dividends if the company has a strong track record.
Another great way to diversify is through private equity groups. In these private companies, you also own shares in the corporation. The difference is that your share allows you to directly own a piece of a tangible asset, such as an apartment building. The benefits include passive cash flow from rents without managing the property or handling day-to-day operations. You also gain from capital appreciation when the properties are sold and enjoy tax benefits associated with owning real estate.
Passive Profit Partners is a private equity group that provides these benefits and has the added diversity of being in Panama, a proven emerging market.
I own both types of investments for safety and diversification. While I am not a financial advisor, and you must do your own due diligence, I want to share with you some of the ways I’ve used to achieve financial freedom.
All this diversity helps keep your investments safe, allowing them to weather the ups and downs of economies, government uncertainties, and even pandemics.
