I wouldn't really consider any type of stock/bond or index investing strategy as an effective means to generate passive "income", unless you're investing to specifically target high-yielding securities. 

I don't think they are paper assets in the same way that stocks/bonds are.

This is important because even though they do not and cannot control the long-term bonds what the FED Funds rate does affect dramatically is interest rates on things like CC and HELOCs.

My broker mentioned she got 3 rate cards today on all the motion in bonds/markets and we know we are likely to see 75 basis points next month.

Mostly I think because they had a good set to the teeth.

Inverted Yield Curve - Short term lending makes more return than long termBond market is horrible and investment grade "junk" bonds have increased exponentially.

Many states have enacted laws and regulations to thwart these types of transactions, and many have teeth in them to include both civil and criminal penalties now.

If they ask for their stuff in court ask to have them put up a bond to cover all the damages they did when they broke into the house.Keep saying you want them arrested for breaking in.

I'm not super experienced in real estate but I like to give my two cents and try to help where I can.Regards,Jason Eyerly NOTE: I see interest rates increasing anyways as the Fed sees the market improving and reduces their bond buying program, eventually rates will begin to come up, that's just how it works.
