Passive income- you’ve got some right?! But what does that even mean?
If you’ve spent any time existing on this earth over the last 7 years you’ve probably been pummeled with social media ads/totally natural posts urging you to get a passive income stream.

Usually there’s some sort of paid seminar available to help you get your very own passive income stream up and cranking out cash. 🤷🏻‍♀️
Except there’s usually a little piece those talking heads leave out…
typically refers to how the income is taxed on your tax return. It *generally* doesn’t mean it’s passive income as in “no work.” Or “free money.”💰

(…Unless you want to get really meta and start an online business selling a prerecorded seminar on how to generate passive income where you never respond to client questions and instead drop them into an endless loop with an AI chatbot. 🤔💭🧐 )

OK, that got a little dystopian really fast.

Either way- in this video we are sharing some background on what people are talking about when they talk about passive income in the context of running a real estate business.

Enjoy summer. Grill some steaks and buy a nice bottle of red wine. Eat outside. Head to the James River. Check on your one tomato plant. Go for a run if that's your thing. (you do you)
Just have fun.

Life doesn’t always follow our carefully laid plans. That doesn’t mean we shouldn’t plan, it means we need to approach planning differently. Life is beautiful because of the iterations, not despite them.

This philosophy is why we prioritize building flexibility into our client’s financial plans at Spark Financial Advisors.

We are so pleased to share that the Spark Financial Advisors office in Richmond, VA was recently "secret shopped" by "Boy A" and he left our office a glowing review! In other news, all of our wintergreen mints are now missing. We will restock ASAP.

*This is not a reflection of said 11 year old's opinion of our financial planning or investment related services. It was purely a review of the physical location in Richmond, VA at the time of his visit in May 2026. No other reviewers were included in this survey. Your experience may vary.
There can be no guarantee that any mints or other candies will be available when you come to our office. If you visit our Richmond or Williamsburg offices shortly after "Boy A" visits said office, there is a high likelihood we will not have candy. All investing involves the chance of loss.

Today we celebrate 8 years of serving our clients at Spark Financial Advisors! In 2018 we started with zero clients, no team, and no office.
What we did have was an unwavering commitment to fiduciary financial planning and a desire to better serve women and families as they navigate careers, entrepreneurship, and more.
Thank you to all who have invited us to walk with them on their journey to and thru financial independence. You are our "why."
