Active vs Passive investing - What is your preference and why?

[Kevin Kohler]

Hey all,

I was curious how the rest of the BP community approaches the options  between investing in active opportunities versus passive opportunities in real estate investing.  

Active Investing - Being the leader of the team to acquire and manage real estate investments.  Actually working in the business of finding the deals and creating the profit or revenue stream.

Passive Investing - Investing money into other active investors' opportunities.  This could include providing financing, real estate syndications, etc.

Do you do one type or the other?  Do you diversify by opportunity?  

I would love to hear from everyone!
