What exactly is residual income?

Question

I think I have an idea of what it is. What jobs or businesses most likely produce residual income? Off the bat, I think Real Estate, but I know there's a lot more.

Answer 1

The "residual" used to mean the income that an actor, musician or other performer received after the TV show had gone into re-runs or syndication... These days the term is used a lot by CROOKS who want to scam people.  The whole MLM or whatever game is NOT productive and should be avoided.

Answer 2

I agree
