@Ali Boone...

Thanks for replying so quickly. I think I was referring to the risk of it turning into a "non-passive" investment should there be issues with tenants, a major CapEx or anything that could erase the gains. Of course there is risk in anything but "people" can present the most risk sometimes.

I really want to be an ACTIVE investor but have made the mistake in the past of "over-leveraging" my time.  With summers off as a teacher and trying to figure out how that can be utilized to my advantage, I still have some due diligence to do.

I am sure every newbie has gone through this when starting out.  Some are able to jump right in, some will over-analyze as I do.

Just trying to figure it all out....

OK...been an interesting few weeks.  After MUCH due diligence, my wife and I decided that TurnKey was the way to go as we truly wanted a passive environment.  After researching and talking to several companies, we are dismayed.  We still have a few to talk to but it appears the TK buyers are just the "exit strategy" for many flippers.  In the end, we have the real risk.

So...what is the best TRULY passive way to invest our money?  Is syndication or hard-money participation a better option.  I don't know what I don't know which is keeping us on the sideline.

At the end of the day, I would love to flip houses with my brother who is a general contractor.  I am just smart enough to know that I DO NOT have the time and would drive myself crazy right now trying to do so.

Anybody have any new insight??  I'd like to get off the bench and get in the game but can decide what plays to call...
