Passive Property Development

This is usually a long term strategy. You buy the property, be it residential or commercial and rent it out. If you have done your research well, the property will not only increase in value over that time but during that time, you will have earned a significant amount of money in rent. This can go towards the costs of owning the property, such as mortgage, rates and insurance etc.
