In every financial decision, you must determine if the payoff is worth the potential risks involved. Does investing in real estate make sense for you? Because your income is passive, notwithstanding the initial investment and upkeep costs, you can earn money while putting most of your time and energy into your regular job. Unlike investing in stocks or other financial products that you cannot see or touch, real estate is a tangible physical asset. Although rental income is passive , tenants can be a pain to deal with unless you use a property management company.
If you would like to invest in a rental property but don't have the money or expertise to make it happen, you might want to consider a real estate partnership. In simple terms, an investing partner helps finance the deal in exchange for a share of the profits.

You still have to do your homework, practice your pitch, and be ready to show prospective partners that the investment makes financial sense. You don't need a Wall Street connection to find a real estate investor to partner with. Instead, you can ask your own network of family and friends, find a local real estate investment club, consider real estate crowdfunding , or search for social media groups that target real estate investors.

When considering a condo for an investment, be sure to investigate the financial health of the homeowners' association and the current condition of the overall building—not just the individual unit.
Be realistic in your expectations. As with any investment, rental property isn't going to produce a large monthly paycheck right away, and picking the wrong property could be a catastrophic mistake.
Still, rental properties can be a lucrative way to invest in real estate. For your first rental property, consider working with an experienced partner.
