Investing in real estate can be an excellent way to generate passive income. The great news is that you don't need much money to get started. While buying a rental property could set you back more than $100,000 after factoring in the down payment, closing costs, and repairs, other real estate investments have a much, much lower initial investment. Real estate investment trusts ( REITs ) offer some of the lowest investment minimums.

Walmart (NYSE: WMT) stock is the second-best-performing investment in the Dow Jones Industrial Average this year. That result might seem strange given that the retailer isn't nearly as profitable as the AI-powered tech giants that have dominated headlines in the past year. Walmart does have exposure to some attractive tech spaces, of course. But it is still a retailing stock, with all the limited growth and earnings opportunities that come with operating in that competitive sector.
