I started serious Investing Journey in Jan 2000 to create wealth through long-term investing and short-term trading; but as from April 2013 my Journey in Investing has changed to create Retirement Income for Life till 85 years old in 2041 for two persons over market cycles of Bull and Bear.

Since 2017 after retiring from full-time job as employee; I am moving towards Investing Nirvana - Freehold Investment Income for Life investing strategy where 100% of investment income from portfolio investment is cashed out to support household expenses i.e. not a single cent of re-investing!

It is 57% (2017 to Aug 2022) to the Land of Investing Nirvana - Freehold Income for Life!

My No Leverage Principle- Why? Part 3

My No Leverage Principle- Why? Part 2

Understanding Debt, Risk and Leverage

I don't like the ideas of getting into Negative Passive Income. Read on. The Story ...

Seems unrealistic. Make money while you sleep. While you spend time with family. While you're in your car, on your bike, or eating. Passive income is income that you "set and forget". Wow, passive income is so shiok!!!

Rental income from properties can be the biggest form of passive income you can generate. It can also be the most detrimental to your work free lifestyle and can lead you down the road for another 40 hour a week drudgery if you ever fail in your property investment.

What is Negative Passive Income?

Recalling from Part 1 ....

For 30 years mortgage loan, you probably spent the 1st ten years paying more interests to the bank and little on equity.

Negative Passive Income happens when your monthly mortgage payment exceeds your rental income or no rental income.

If the current recession prolongs for another few years and the property market continue to fall further. Rental is going to drop drastically, and in the worst case, the property may remain vacant for sometime.

A better way for passive income generation through property is not to start with any passive income at all, but removing any negative passive income.

Getting out of debt is the first and hardest part of generating passive income and long term wealth.

That's all, folks. End of My Story. If you like my story, buy me kopi O.
