I've been thinking about getting into real estate lately.
It's a field I've never looked into before and I know nothing about it. It seems to offer the promise of passive income that could fund a pretty comfortable lifestyle, so I was wondering if it's right for someone like me who's just not ambitious, motivated, or clever enough to hold down a "real" job. I'm not proud saying this about myself, I'm just being honest: that is who I am. I'm just not a "work" person. I have tried different things, but nothing really seemed to fit with me, and they have never lasted long.
Anyway, I've come to accept that I will never be a motivated or productive worker, but I still need income to fund a life living abroad. So my only hope as I see it is to generate income that doesn't require much activity on my part. Hence my interest in real estate. Does anyone here have experience in this area? How does one get started? Can you actually earn enough to live comfortably abroad?
