It opens up another income avenue and may encourage him to be more entrepreneurial in the future.<\/p>\n<p>There is a lot of truth to that as I remember a guy saying when he saw how much a landlord made from renting properties he immediately wanted to find ways to invest his money versus just working at a regular job and saving what little he could.
