My watch company. Started it in September and started selling before the watches were made. They're still in production and will be finished soon. Wouldn't maybe call it "passive income", but the sales keep coming through WOM. ( http://gardannewatches.com )

Are those images renders or actual product? It's a really nice looking watch, at a great price.

What is with these artifacts in this image? Are these real watches? It looks like some image samples poorly photoshopped together.

Is anyone doing old-fashion landlording these days? I'm trying to break into that space, but I have no idea what I'm doing and could use some advice from someone who's done it before.

I've been looking at this as well and I also have very little idea what I'm doing. I found a spreadsheet on Bigger Pockets that helps evaluate properties as rental investments by plugging in some numbers. Apart from that, I just have some alerts set up on Redfin and a general idea of what parts of my city would probably attract good tenants.

But I've seen enough stories about nightmare situations that I'd rather cover all my bases before jumping in.
