Is real estate investing for me?

[David Wilson]

Hi all. I am a health care professional that has always been fascinated by real estate investing. I have around $ 200,000 extra income a year to invest after maximizing my other retirement plans. I would like to begin taking that extra money and invest it into real estate to diversify my portfolio. However I am very busy with my profession. I understand it will take more work than just placing the money into the S and P 500 but from everyone’s experience, is it reasonable to assume I can do this without creating another job for myself? Thanks in advance!!

@David Wilson There are a couple of things you mentioned that stuck to me: 

Your fascination with REI (some passion) + You Are Very Busy with Your Work 

I think you should seriously consider some sort of passive investing opportunities in Real Estate such as Multifamily Investing. With these opportunities, you act as a Passive Investor and you can learn the investing side at your own if you care to.  

As a passive Investor, you wouldn't be creating another job for yourself!
