I just want to beat the stock market as passively as possible

Tyler D.

Does anyone have any experience/ success with this strategy?

I started researching REI a couple of years ago, and have dedicated a massive amount of time to learning and searching for properties. I want to expand my holdings, but it seems like most of the people here treat REI as a full-time or at the very least a part-time job.

Optimally, I'd like to spend minimal time acquiring properties. I already know the inspection, due diligence, management side, so I feel comfortable there, and I'm happy to do some repairs. However, I'm not at all interested in spending hours scouring the MLS, networking for off-market deals, running marketing campaigns, etc to find the best possible opportunity. REI for me is something I want to be as hands-off and passive as possible.

Is it realistic to succeed in REI without searching for the best possible deals, or am I better off with a completely passive investment, like the stock market?
