[Investment Story] My Experience with Rental Business

It's been 10 months since I started my rental business.

Although it's a building in a local area, the monthly cash flow is equivalent to a large corporation's deputy manager's salary.

I happened to visit a real estate agency and found attractive conditions, so after a month of intense deliberation, I proceeded with the contract.

Ignoring the concerns of those around me who suggested I should use that money to buy more apartments,

I pursued my long-held dream of 'owning an asset capable of generating cash flow'.

Peace of Mind

Advantage 1

Looking back over the past 10 months, the most significant change I can point to is 'peace of mind'.

With a steady cash flow, I've become less concerned about how my actions are perceived by others within the company.

For instance, after the first company dinner since the easing of COVID-19 restrictions, I simply went home.

When it comes to my work, I'm able to focus more on achieving results and avoid unnecessary worries like

being mindful of superiors, observing etiquette, and other superfluous considerations.

Fortunately, my performance has improved, and I've gained more personal time.

Providing Small Jobs

Advantage 2

Since it's my building, I've been diligently learning how to perform various maintenance tasks.

Replacing showerheads, light bulbs, door locks, handles, switches, and even performing roof waterproofing...

These small tasks bring me great joy and satisfaction when I return home after completing them.

Leaving work at the company is liberating, while finishing building maintenance feels rewarding.

Dealing with People Here Is Also Stressful

Disadvantage

There are occasional minor adjustments to be made with tenants, and various unforeseen variables arise.

Delayed rent payments, immature actions from young tenants, or necessary repair expenses, etc.

The rental process certainly has its stressors. It's a job, so it's unavoidable.

However, the satisfaction I derive from it far outweighs the stress, making it a manageable aspect.

I consider it a profitable business.
