Accredited Investor, No Experience. Syndication vs Actively Owned

[Account Closed]

If you are an accredited investor and could start over again, would you actively own a property or invest in a reputable passive deal (Crowd-funding, Syndicate)? There's a lot of control with value add but passive deals are smaller and could be easier to learn from with less risk. 

I really would prefer to own outright especially given my credit is north of 790 and I can get good terms (regular W-2 job at reputable firm, no current loans).
