less than a thousand from rental propertie'S'?
I assume it's because he's running his rental business right. You've got to consider the following things, which greatly reduce the actual "income" you're getting out of them. The obvious ones are mortgage payments, insurance payments, and tax payments. Then you've also got a vacancy allowance, because you assume that units will be vacant at least some of the time between leases. This can vary between 5-20% depending…
I also only invest in a city with outstanding economic fundamentals. I could invest in more depressed areas and have higher cash flow but the risk is not worth it to me.

#213I made between 12k-20k a month for a little more than 3 years as an online poker player. And that was only "working" on average between 4 and 5 hours a day. Sadly I am an American and that is no longer possible.

#216Are you referring to business income/revenue or personal income from those businesses?

That adds up to high 5-figures per month for each (more in a good month). Of course, they both have the highest overhead in terms of…

#218$0 per month for my one-hand keyboard layout software, blah. Recently switched from a 'branded' domain to a exact-match domain, looking forward to seeing how that improves my results.

#219I co-own a web app which makes about $70k a year total, which I split 50/50 with my partner. Living in a relatively expensive place, I'm satisfied with that for now as it enables a modest yet comfortable standard of living. The usual benefits - flexible hours, can work in any location with internet access, complete choice of technologies, etc. go a long way. We could do a lot better, though and I'm aiming to do that.…

#220I'm using a throwaway account here to protect my privacy. I'm currently making between 90k and 110K a month in revenue as a sole employee running a fairly large active Web community ( Our revenue sources breaks down as follows: * 40/50K/month in subscription revenue * 25K/month in adsense revenue * 4k/month in other ad revenue (Ebay, Amazon, Viglink etc) * 30K/month in license and royalty revenue As the sole employee…
