How to Invest in Income-Generating Properties and Earn Passive Income
Investing in income-generating real estate is not only a way to preserve your capital but also an opportunity to secure a stable passive income. The format of income-generating buildings and serviced apartments, popular worldwide, is gradually gaining traction in Ukraine. If you are interested in profitable investments that generate income on autopilot, this segment deserves your attention.
What Are Income-Generating Buildings?
An income-generating building is a property specifically designed and constructed for rental purposes. Its structure, layout, and internal infrastructure are aimed not at selling to residents for personal use but at investment with the goal of earning rental income.
Serviced apartments are individual units within such buildings, fully ready for living. They feature modern finishes, may come furnished and equipped with appliances. Rental management and maintenance are handled by a professional management company.
Advantages of Investing in Income-Generating Real Estate
Passive income without daily hassle: Owners do not need to find tenants, sign contracts, handle repairs, or clean — all these services are included in the management package.
Planned profitability: Projects with transparent business models allow you to estimate returns in advance and plan your finances accordingly.
Scalability: You can gradually expand your real estate portfolio without increasing operational workload.
Inflation protection: Real estate is traditionally viewed as an asset that preserves value during crises.
Capital appreciation: As the market grows, so does the value of the asset, giving investors a chance not only to earn income but also to profit from resale.
How to Get Started?
The easiest way to start is investing in a serviced apartment. This allows you to test the instrument with minimal risk and with the involvement of a professional operator.
What Should You Do? First, Evaluate the Property. Pay Attention To:
Location (proximity to metro stations, business clusters)
Finishing specification (white box or furnished), since it affects how much additional investment is needed to make the apartment rental-ready
Experience and services of the management company
Profitability calculation
Sign the Contract and Choose a Strategy
You can opt for long-term rental or short-term rental (e.g., for relocators or business travelers). The strategy is discussed with the developer or operator.
Who Is This For?
Beginners who want passive income without operational involvement
Experienced investors looking to diversify their portfolio
Ukrainians abroad who want to invest remotely in their home country
Entrepreneurs seeking to preserve and grow their free capital
Serviced apartments and income-generating buildings are a modern and profitable tool for investing in rental real estate. You receive passive income, protect your money from inflation, and invest in a clear and transparent asset. The key is to choose trusted developers and calculate the economics before signing a contract.
If you are looking for a real opportunity to invest in income-generating real estate today, we recommend checking out our Standard One projects.
We were the first in Ukraine to develop the Build-to-Rent format and have already proven its effectiveness. This format is created especially for investors seeking stable rental income. Each building’s concept is designed for the needs of a modern, solvent audience, ensuring steady demand for rental housing.
Our first completed project, S1 VDNH, is fully occupied, operating stably, and our investors receive income every month without the hassle of dealing with tenants, repairs, or contracts. This project confirmed the demand for quality rental housing in Kyiv and showed that a properly built model provides predictable financial results.
Currently, we are building S1 Obolon — a new income-generating building in a prime location, just 2 minutes’ walk from the “Minska” metro station. It will offer everything tenants need: stylish apartments, developed infrastructure, hotel-style service, and for you — full management, a transparent model, and planned profit.
If you are interested in investing in a ready-made instrument with predictable demand and planned returns, contact the S1 sales office.
