Different Sources of Income

 

What’s better than having one source of income? Two

Well let me tell you that for some people this may be difficult to do. Creating a second source of income can be challenging, but not impossible. Let me tell you that they are many ways for you to start generating income. In this post I will share 2 different ideas that you can start investing your time and money to create that second source of income.

1.        Peer to peer lending

      There are websites like LendingClub and Prosper that allows you to become lenders (know that this investment is also not limited to risk).

 LendingClub

With LendingClub you buy fractions of loans called notes. These notes range from grades A to C, and each grade has it's terms where you can purchase the notes in increments of $25. Allowing investor to diversify their risk splitting an investment across borrowers. The return you would get is the average interest rates on your notes, minus your fees, which LendingClub charges 1% investor fee.

Each time the borrower makes a monthly payment on their principal and interest, you also get paid. The company has a mobile app, available for Apple and Android that you can download and manage your account from your phone. To start using LendingClub you need a lending minimum of $1,000, go check out the company’s investor education section before you start investing.


Prosper

Prosper is one of the first peer to peer lending site in the U.S and investors can fund notes for as little as $25. You choose the amount you can lend for each note, the higher the amount the higher the return. Loans range from AA to HR meaning "higher risk, higher return." Also, with Prosper they charge you an annual 1% investor fee. Prosper also has a mobile app, available for Apple and Android to manage your account from your phone.


 

2.       Crowdfunding

       If your thinking about investing in real estate, there's a perception that you need thousands and thousands of dollars to invest but let me tell you that's not the case. With companies like Fundrise and PeerStreet you can start investing with just 1,000 dollars. This company lets you invest in their real estate projects all over the United States. This is how it works:


     This website shows you every commercial project they are working on and you are able to decide which project you want to invest in. They have a project chart that tells you the rating of each investment, which can range from A1 to E1.


Fundrise

PeerStreet

      Allowing you to diversify your portfolio and not only invest in one property but invest in many others (Just like any other investments there are risks). Just like in real estate investments, this type of investment is meant to be a long-term. This means if you need that money 1 or 2 years down the road then this is not the type of investment you would want to get into. These types of investments are meant to be for at least 6 years. You can also download their app on your phone to keep track of your portfolio.

💥Always make sure before investing into any of these long-term investments, first read the investor education to make sure you understand the investment.!!!!

What really impacts your credit score and how?

Image
  Well Your FICO credit score, reflects your credit report, that is what banks and other lenders use to determine how credit-worthy you are. If you have a high score, then you have access to better credit cards, insurance, and loan rates as well as other perks. FICO scores range between 300 and 850, and a “good” score is considered anything above 700. An “excellent” rate of 750 or higher will secure you the best interest rates on loans, while falling below 650 could mean higher interest rate. Carrying a balance on your credit card doesn’t increase your credit score. (sorry to bust your bubble) Over the years I have heard people say that the best way to build up your credit score is by carrying a balance.   As you can see, I also did listen to that advice and instead of accomplishing to get a better score I ended up losing money, my credit score got worse, and ended up with huge credit card debt….nice   Many people like me believe this myth to be true. But later, I und...

The Misconception About College Education

Image
  Have you heard people repeating over and over that you don’t need to go to college to be successful in life?  Well in this new era that is correct you don’t need a college degree to have a successful life. The internet has given people the power to become entrepreneurs and do things they really enjoy doing. For example, they can live stream online games with twitch and create a community of followers who enjoy watching you play. Then that’s when you can start monetizing what once was your hobby is now your full-time job and the best of all is that you enjoy doing it. We must realize society has changed in the last decade, what was seen impossible before, now we see it not being, so impossible anymore. We can achieve anything we want if we apply self-discipline and consistency in our life equation. I have friends and colleagues that argue that you don’t need to go to college to be successful. In fact, they are right, but not everyone can afford not to go to college. Many peop...

Ways to invest in the market

Image
       I am pretty sure you have seen those advertisement on YouTube telling you how easy it is to invest in the stock market with less than $10,000 dollars blah blah blah. And yet you never pay much attention because you either thought it was a lie or you couldn’t wait to watch the videos of those guys who build and entire house with pool in the jungle with just a machete. I know you probably think is too good to be true, but what if I tell you that those advertisements are correct.  When it comes to not needing so much money to start investing. There are so many applications you can start investing with just $10 dollars. That’s like buying a box of cereal and a gallon of milk, but instead of eating it you watch those $10 dollars grow overtime. Yes, I am one of those people that can eat the entire box of cereal in one sitting. But, well you get my point. I had the same concept about investing. That’s until a good friend of mine recommended me to download this a...
