In today's episode of The Art of Passive Income, Mark and Scott talk to John Sonmez, founder of SimpleProgrammer.com. He created Simple Programmer with the goal of making the complex, simple. He is also the author of Soft Skills: The Software Developer's Life Manual.   John puts all of his effort into Simple Programmer now, but he also retired from real estate at a very young age and he tells us about how he managed several passive income revenue streams and why he found real estate the true passive income model.    Why is it the best option? A few things factor in:  It produces a high yield. It has such a low risk.  It will always exist! Listen in today as we get super geeky and talk about everyone's favorite words: automation, real estate, and programming...oh my! TIPS OF THE WEEK Mark: Learn more about John Sonmez by checking out his website SimpleProgrammer.com.  Scott: Check out WrightsNotes.com.
