Funds vs. Buy and Hold

Hey BP,

After doing significant research and thinking through my goals (PASSIVE cash flow= primary, capital growth= secondary), I'm starting to think investing in funds & syndicated deals makes more sense than buying and holding property.  I have thought about notes, etc, but funds seem to be a great way to.

If you vet the funds and operators thoroughly enough, it seems like there is the potential for far fewer headaches and, a lot of time, better cash flow.

What are your thoughts on this? Do any of you guys invest almost solely through funds or other completely passive investments?

Great question Eli.  I talk to a lot of investors who say that on some deals they make more money than the actual house flipper.  Absolutely think it's a great idea to invest your money, at least until you figure out exactly what you want to be doing with it.
