Hot on the tails of Keir Starmer’s controversial assertion that landlords aren’t “working people”, as it’s passive income, like income from shares, Suzanne Smith and Richard Jackson discuss objectively the extent to whether income from residential rental properties can be considered “passive”.
Stepping back from the political debate, they examine “passive income” means, and contrast it to what landlords need to do to earn money from their rental properties. Although property “gurus” claim that rental income is passive, there is a trade off between outsourcing and profit. It’s also the wrong mindset.
