Side hustles? Rental properties? What’s the best way to make some more “passive income”? Taking on real estate debt may not be the best option for you—especially if you have a high-risk financial portfolio. Instead, you might be better off starting a side hustle that brings in extra dough without huge startup costs or a massive time commitment!

Kayla is a healthcare sales professional who has just bought her first property—a beautiful townhouse that she plans to house hack with a couple of friends. Although she was able to get a loan with a low interest rate from a private lender, there are several risks involved that keep Kayla awake at night. With a hard deadline to refinance the mortgage in five years and a potential recession looming, Kayla must reassess her five-year plan and determine the most viable path to financial freedom. Fortunately, Scott and Mindy are here to help her out!

If you’re feeling a little uneasy about 2024’s recession risk, you won’t want to miss out on the many nuggets of wisdom shared in this episode. You’ll learn the best ways to offset a high-risk portfolio, the importance of building your cash position in case of emergency, and how to supplement your W2 salary with REAL passive income!
