With over 20,000 locations worldwide, Domino's Pizza (NYSE: DPZ) is Earth's biggest pizza company. So how much money do you think it makes from selling pizza to hungry customers? $1 billion? $5 billion? $10 billion? What if I told you that Domino's has generated revenue of less than $400 million in pizza sales over the last 12 months? This number might sound absurdly low, but it's accurate.

Real estate can be a great way to earn passive income. However, there are some drawbacks to buying a rental property. The initial expense can be high when factoring in the down payment, closing costs, and needed repairs. On top of that, the income isn't always passive (you have to do some work to find a tenant and manage the property) or stable (unplanned expenses can turn a property from a money maker to a money pit).

If this pattern were to persist in 2024, it would portend a difficult year for equities.
