Thanks! Yeah I checked out the meetup site. Nothing in metro Richmond and surrounding counties. Please let me know if you end up setting up something.

It might be unusual to compare the two entirely different beasts (no argument, they are), but think from an investor’s perspective. Someone with capital might wonder: why invest in real estate when the stock market is providing 10% sometimes greater growth? Both are unpredictable, cyclical, and can succeed or fail “just depends”. Both require research and some institutional knowledge. Is the upside in real estate THAT much greater?

Most of the discussion on this forum seems to cater to the DIYers. I haven't seen much discussion on routes for passive investors to make similar or comparable CoC, cash flow, and equity as regular active investors. Is there a sub forum for those of us who have good W2 jobs that supply the investment capital, who want to be passive investors? Do returns on those types of arrangements typically beat the stock market? Looking to understand if the DIY model (regardless of niche and investment strategy) is where all the magic happens, and what the ballpark differential in returns is from the passive investor model. Thanks in advance for any insight!

What advice do you have for FT professionals too busy to do all the legwork in REI?

Where do you recommend I start to look for partners who are willing to let me be a passive investor?

What are some criteria to follow in selecting someone credible?

What are some realistic returns to expect?

I want to beat the stock market and I want to grow enough passive income to be FIRE in 10 years.

Are these meet up groups virtual at the moment?
