Traveling is one of the best ways to enjoy life to the fullest. But traveling also costs a lot of money. And then it demands time – there is just no way around that. The ideal arrangement is to have enough money to go to trips abroad and then having enough free time to actually do that. But most people are tied up with work. Time-for-money is the idea behind income. Many entrepreneurs are also tied with their businesses. While they have people under their employ, their business cannot move forward without them on the helm.
So how can you travel freely without worrying about time and money?
Passive income in properties
One of the best investments to have passive income for yourself is property investment, rental property to be exact. This is not a typical get-rich-quick idea but it is very sustainable. This is long term investment but the passive income it gives you every month could be more than enough to fund your trips for a lifetime.
Start small with property investment. Look for specific deals that you think fetches the best value for your money. Do not get easily discouraged if you do not have the cash. Look for a loan if the property you are after can pay for itself. If that won’t work, start saving money and be ready for the next good deal. The good thing about property investment is that it gets easier over time. Start small, learn as much as you can and then grow your rental portfolio.
The good thing about rental property? You do not have to work as hard for every dollar you get out from it. This is time and money freedom!

Freedom business are built on systems. It moves forward based on procedures and guidelines. The entrepreneur does not manage people (because people come and go), instead they focus their attention in building the system that runs the business.
