Just Brainstorming.... What ways can an individual invest in real estate PASSIVELY, with minimal risk, and get 5-15% ROI?

[Dionte Graves]

Okay I am up late its 1am and I thought of a question for the BP community...

Is there a way for an individual to passively invest in real estate with minimal risk, achieve decent returns; for arguments sake 5-15% and avoid anything related to buying stocks, mutual funds etc?

I know the obvious answer is probably tax certificates and private lending. But I am fairly new to REI especially when it comes to creative financing and private lending. What other strategies are there that fit the aforementioned criteria?

The main objective of this question is to get as many responses as possible to educate those looking to passively invest in RE. Also looking to maybe come up with some suggestions for those I encounter who wont actively invest in RE themselves.

I personally want to have active investments in RE like rehabs, rentals, etc. But I also want to get a return on liquid capital that I can put to work in passive investments...

I havn't seen anyone state the obvious answer; to get best passive investment plan first you must know 1) your resources at hand and 2) the best applications of those resources.

Cash, credit, connections, know how, SEO savvy, on and on, each lends a totally different and unique set of oppertunity, first you must have a good analysis of what bullets you hold in your belt.

In my opinion, best passive investment in any is to JV with a really smart, good, under backed investor in that field. Become the enabler for the ball buster. That works for any and all fields.
