Commandment 5: Create Cash Flow Immediately

I’m a cash flow guy. If it doesn’t make me money today, forget about it. β€”Robert Kiyosaki

An interesting fact to keep in mind on your journey is that earned income is the highest taxed income in the United States (and most other countries). In other words, the income you earn from your job or your business is taxed more than any other income you earn.

Passive income, on the other hand, is one of the lowest taxed incomes.

The 1031 Exchange Advantage

I have more good news about real estate investing. There is a way to reinvest the profits into more real estate to avoid owing a long-term capital gains tax: It’s a financial tool called a 1031 exchange you can use to your advantage.

Key Takeaways

  • Do you know that the IRS has a “passive investor” designation that exists if you don’t have any earned income and all your income is derived from investments? Passive investors actually pay the lowest percentage of taxes legally.
Recap of Commandments:
  • Commandment 1: Lifestyle First
