Whether it is house hacking, BRRRR (harder these days), flipping, or passive investing, there is a beautiful multitude of options! Spend some time identifying your "big why" that helps keep you on course to achieving whatever end goal you have. Look at everything with a degree of pessimism until DATA POINTS can validate and verify claims and ideas. Don't act impulsively! Also, don't fall into the trap of analysis paralysis and remember it takes ACTION in some direction to get positive momentum!

NNN means "Triple Net Lease" which is the type of asset where you would rent a space and the tenant is responsible for rent, taxes, insurance, and repairs. The owner passes all operating cost responsibility through the lease to the tenant. Properties that use this would include:
- drive-thru/QSR 

- industrial/warehouses

- retail/shopping/strip malls

- some Office buildings

I am doing some syndications right now and happy to connect you to a few different SEC attorneys.  Though, I agree that what you may want is a fund instead of a syndication unless you are buying assets to close on the same day and from the same seller.

I have a client that 1031'd into a syndication we are closing on this month.  Happy to talk further with that.  Also I have some great opportunities right now for doing the same thing, including a local MHP.

sounds good!  

@Jim Pfeifer you make good points and would love to hear more about your journey on the passive side.  I agree that returns are completely achievable as a passive investor, and I think it boils down to an investor understanding how to mitigate their risk via selecting the appropriate sponsor team etc. It is important to pursue due diligence whether you are buying the building or investing with others that are buying it...

 Hi Dominique, If your potential sponsor group is unwilling to spend time to go over the PPM, etc, that is a red flag.  If you have questions on what to look for or how to review documents, I am happy to get on a video conference to work through any specific questions.  Otherwise, it is reviewing the sponsor experience, contingencies, exit plan, assumptions, and more.

I could think of a few ways to either get an asset via JV so the other partner is the "managing member" that runs the day-to-day oversight, invest into a syndication as an LP, etc. Let's connect and talk it through.

Hey all,

I was curious how the rest of the BP community approaches the options  between investing in active opportunities versus passive opportunities in real estate investing.  

Active Investing - Being the leader of the team to acquire and manage real estate investments.  Actually working in the business of finding the deals and creating the profit or revenue stream.

Passive Investing - Investing money into other active investors' opportunities.  This could include providing financing, real estate syndications, etc.

Do you do one type or the other?  Do you diversify by opportunity?  

I would love to hear from everyone!
