What do people do to generate passive income?

Hey guys,
Can't trade single stocks at my the HF i'm at. Besides real estate and buying properties at 5-7% cap rates (but less in reality w/ vacanies, and main. capex), what are some places you can earn a nice double digit return on your capital? Not interested in peer to peer lending either.

 

There's aren't a ton of HFs that i have confidence in that can generate returns higher than the mkt to justify their fee structure. however dumping more and more into spy this deep into an expansion doesn't sit well either.

You can invest in your buddy's new fund launches and get good economics.

I pay 1 and 10% for a pretty well reputed start-up fund as founder class. And you usually don't have to put in $1mm, $250k or even less will do.

That's pretty cool. Although it's expensive to run a small fund so your true %NAV pay-away is much higher than 1%.

Otherwise you can try: * Value-oriented funds (would go for a boutique asset manager) * Factor-based ETF (i.e. small cap, value, buyback) * Angel investing (only for money that you are happy to throw away)

Personally, I don't really bother with PA stock picking. Much better off spending time on getting names in the book.

I know a lot of guys who make more trading on the side than professionally. You can do things in PA you can’t elsewhere.

I’d also expect the guys running my money to do side things. The guys with the most passion in the business would also be trading on the side.

 

yea, it's driven by investors. they want you focused on your day to day work vs being distracted managing your pa. other buy side shops encourage you to invest as that demonstrates conviction. At a HF, they expect your cash to be in the fund.

 

These restrictions are actually annoying, and it's a benefit of staying outside the industry. The type of strategy you run in a PA is typically very different from what the fund runs, especially if it's a quant fund. I think prop/HFT shops may have fewer PA restrictions.

Oh my goodness..... this dude just tried pitching you his pyramid on WSO.... Are you offering a How-To on Youtube too man? hahahaha

There is more than one way to get there. I'd rather have 30 chapters than 3000 pages.
 

i know lots of people selling products on Amazon...just follow the jungle scout videos. find/buy products on alibaba...maybe get the manufacturer to make modifications for you...then ship to amazon warehouse...then advertise your product on facebook

its pretty much "passive" after you get going...and even in the early stages...the work is mostly just research and email...initial budget is around $2000 to get started (that includes $1500 for your 1st batch of product plus $500 advertising).

Reinvest proceeds into more product...then expand to more products (people who buy this...also buy xyz...etc.)

Not sure if “passive” income is so passive. Even if it’s investing in assets that produce income, those assets still need to be managed

 

There are tons of income strategies in the present time, and more are generated almost every day. Due to the development of technologies, income strategies are becoming faster. Online platform and availability of internet is the sector to thank here. Nowadays, all of us think of earning money online and want to make a source of passive income which always gives us money on time. The special thing about passive income is that we keep getting money whether we are working or not.
