Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Sarah owns a rental house downtown
Collects twelve hundred every month around
That's rental income flowing to her name
Before expenses, it's all fair game
The tenant pays utilities and more
But Sarah handles mortgage at the core

[Chorus]
Property income streams flowing in
Interest, rents, and dividends begin
Gross it up then deduct what's right
Maintenance, taxes, mortgage bite
I-R-O-D, remember the key
Interest, Rental, Other, Deductively

[Verse 2]
Michael's got bonds that pay him twice a year
Six percent return, the income's clear
That's interest income, fully taxable
No deductions make it more manageable
Corporate bonds or government debt
Interest earned is income you can bet

[Chorus]
Property income streams flowing in
Interest, rents, and dividends begin
Gross it up then deduct what's right
Maintenance, taxes, mortgage bite
I-R-O-D, remember the key
Interest, Rental, Other, Deductively

[Bridge]
Royalties from patents that you hold
Lease payments on equipment that you've sold
These are property sources, don't forget
Income earned from assets that you get
Deduct the costs that earn the income stream
Repairs and fees to keep your money machine

[Verse 3]
Property tax and insurance on the place
Advertising costs to fill the space
Property management fees you pay
Reasonable repairs along the way
These deductions lower taxable amount
Every dollar saved is what will count

[Chorus]
Property income streams flowing in
Interest, rents, and dividends begin
Gross it up then deduct what's right
Maintenance, taxes, mortgage bite
I-R-O-D, remember the key
Interest, Rental, Other, Deductively

[Outro]
From real estate to bonds you own
Property income helps your wealth grow strong
Calculate it right and you will see
How property builds prosperity
