Real estate ownership is a solid investment that provides multiple opportunities to generate positive cash flow. For investors who enter the real estate market with the intention of making money, owning rental property offers a means of a steady so-called "passive" income and the corresponding freedom to devote one's time to other pursuits while still reaping a financial profit.
