Re:Ask HN: What was your best passive income in 2016? on Sunday December 11, 2016 @10:17AM (#13151376)
Germany (Frankfurt). I didn't provide the appliances, except for fridge and electric oven+stove (because I managed to get a discount on buying three sets of these appliances through a friend). Sorry, also the kitchens were furnished by me. The rentals were made long term.

My passive income is quite standard. Three apartments in a new block. I bought all of them four years ago when the construction was still unfinished. This got me a good price. I knew that the area would be under continuous development, therefore it won't be hard to find renters. I was right. Best part is that I didn't even have to furnish them. I managed to rent them all unfurnished.

Seems like about time to do that, my Facebook feed is all about CLICKBAIT and VIRAL stories, which is so annoying.
Yeah, it happened to me too with a lot of names. :P

There’s actually some interesting stuff in here. Great articles on gamification, cause marketing, sustainable technology, among others. Good stuff. I may even incorporate some of the gamification lessons into my own business. I'm probably going to contact them to get it done though, because I don't really have the time.
