Is Passive Real Estate Investing BETTER than Active Investing?

When discussing real estate investing practices, the idea of active versus passive investing is often one that is the root of many heated debates amongst investors.

-

Passive investing

1.) Less demand on investors time

2.) More stability and consistency

3.) Less control over the deal as a whole

Active Investing

1.) Complete control over buying

2.) Authority over all management and budget decisions

3.) Unexpected expenses and day-to-day stresses of management

4.) Usually a greater return on money from trading time

-

I would say that the answer depends on your financial goals and your ability to trade more time to be active on a deal.
