Performing Notes or Landlord???

Hello investors!

I like to think of 2015 as the year of passive income.  the real question is do I become a landlord using strict investment strategies (low price multi units that can cash flow on average at least $1000 a month) or invest in performing notes. Im interested to know what you guys think, any note investors out there? If so what are your thoughts, landlords????

Damon, those are very different options.

"Low price multi units" are not friendly to "the year of passive income"

Probably the biggest difference is your comfort with leverage.  Notes are very hard to leverage.  Landlording is easier to leverage. 

Notes are less friendly if you make mistakes and usually take more experience.  

Good luck.
