Risks in Passive Income

[Yugocean]

Passive income is regarded a very simple income because it creates income without requiring any effort on the part of the individual. However, it is not so simple to mark its cures on your own free will, as it also has a number of concerns that should not be overlooked. Consider the following examples:

Rent Income - Imagine renting out an item, a product, or a space and earning money from it. Will the tenant, on the other hand, pay the rent on time? Will he not attempt to reclaim the rented property?
Every sector is vulnerable to this type of risk.

Earnings on Bank Deposits - Bank deposits yield interest, and despite the modest rate of return, they are the safest and most accurate. However, private sector banks may be closed, and politicians may defraud government banks.

Income from investing in the market - This is earning money by providing liquidity to an industry or business; it is the most popular passive income strategy because it generates the most money; even billionaires like Warren Buffet have made a living off of it; however, it also carries the highest risk. A drop in the market can obliterate earnings..

Why don't you talk about invest on cryptocurrency. I think this may be one of the safest and highly profitable investment today. But most important thing is that the investment must be long team basis.

The truth is anything good doe have it's bad sides but we most times overlook because the good sides outweigh the bad sides a lot of times so it will look like it is all rosy all the way. Passive income though worth the take comes with it's challenges as well which are termed risks. The first risk which I know a lot of people have fallen victim is investing where at the end of the day you might not be able to retrieve your capital let alone your profit. There are a lot of investment opportunities that have been brought about by people but the question is how genuine are these investment.

I read about 2 investment schemes in my country just of recent that the heads ran away with billions of dollars that were people's investment. And according to the affected people the investment plans were so real and nobody thought they were scam. I read the amount each person invested in this scheme and it sounded like it was their life savings. So this is or had been my fear when it comes to passive income you might just invest in what you would totally lose all your money if not careful.

There are many risks associated with passive income. One of the biggest dangers is that it can be easy to get complacent and stop working hard. When you’re relying on passive income to pay the bills, you may find that you’re not motivated to keep producing great content or working on your business.



Another danger is that your passive income stream may dry up. If you’re not careful, you could end up losing all your income if something happens to your source. Finally, it can be tough to get started with passive income. It often takes a lot of time and effort to set up a passive income stream that actually produces results.



Despite these risks, passive income is a great way to make money while you sleep. If you’re careful and diligent, passive income can be a great way to secure your financial future.

Passive income is and will always remain a greatest way, there is no one none even among the business community and industry which does not rely on passive income, even the Governments around the world rule on passive income that is gained via tax, but that's the source of governments, any public business isn't a govt's proper income. Risk is 5aken by all, If sources (National Industry) closes, any govt will become pouper (this is why all scams are government related). Even the government banks run on public money invested and intrest on loans taken by the Industry. So I think risk always remain, we just have to be cautious, not that we can enjoy anything risk free. Honesty is the best policy, this phrase explores the need of the passive income too.

In my opinion, the main risk or weakness of passive income is that capital does not increase except by price fluctuations. If we own a property and rent it out we will get rent which is generally paid in advance or prepaid rent and generally the rent received by the property owner will be used up. meet the necessities of life, before the lease expires, If we have a bank deposit whether the interest rate will be greater than the inflation rate. To invest in the capital market, of course, requires portfolio diversification skills so that you don't get caught in a loss.

You can also make money by investing in cryptocurrencies. But you have to choose an investment strategy that is suitable for you.

I earn passive income in multiple ways:
Dividends: Until 2019, I was investing in the stock market every month. Even though not all stocks are profitable, some of my stocks provide me with good dividends. Sometimes I receive cash and sometimes I use my dividends to buy new stocks. Investing in stock is risky, your stock price might go down, and you might receive fewer dividends. However, if you don't sell your stocks when the market is bearish, you will not actually incur a loss.
Businesses: I have helped a few friends to launch their businesses. I have received equity against my investment. These businesses are profitable and I receive a return on my investment quarterly.
Crypto staking: About 90 percent of my crypto assets are on Binance and Binance offers high staking rewrds. I have staked my all assets and I receive profits every day. It is a small amount but it is better than nothing.

I will give my point of view on all the risks mentioned by the OP:
Rental Income: When your tenants could try to cheat on you by not paying the rents or claiming your property. However, you can tackle this through one simple method that is by signing a written contract, where you state the clauses properly. If you have a written contract, no one can fraud you.
Earnings on Bank Deposits: Technically speaking, there is a risk of losing money you have deposited in banks, however, by depositing in the best banks (in terms of market performance), you can easily mitigate this risk.
Investing in market: Stock investment, real estate investment, mutual funds, hedge funds, even investment in business can be a great risk, but if you invest as a long term strategy and chose the investment portfolio wisely, you will have comparatively lower risk.
Investment itself is a risk, but there was ways to deal with this.
