Top 100 Ways Make Money Estate

I would never want to invest in real estate because I don’t want to fix toilets

Let’s just say it involves a plugged toilet, three college-aged tenants, three weeks of procrastination (with continual use of that plugged toilet), and my bad mistake of not hiring a plumber. It was a low point in my investing career but a turning point as well. I realized the type of investor I wanted to be and the type of investor I did not want to be. I no longer work on toilets.

It’s been years since that event, but I still think of it when I hear people say, “I would never want to invest in real estate because I don’t want to fix toilets!” It’s a valid concern.

However, the truth is there are many, many ways to make money in real estate without needing to “play plumber.” Today I want to talk about them.
