Or they need to devote enough time to make a business out of it themselves. 

Also, this is something I can't devote majority of my time to at this moment with crazy scheduled a full time job.

My parents are downsizing (Dad has cancer) so I'm hoping to find a duplex that my wife and I can househack and rent the other half to my parents (I'm guessing they'll pay rent on time :D ) I am so excited to expand my network and I'm wondering if there is anyone out there who is a devoted Christian, doing Real Estate for the Lord's Glory and His Glory alone, and would like to connect and run this race together! 

My job is such that I also have a lot of free time to devote to real estate.With that said- as someone who wants to buy-and-hold, only selling when opportunity arises, what asset class would you recommend for someone in a position like mine pursue?

Just devote yourself to finding great deals and building a network of other investors to pass them over to for a fee.

Having been in sales for a long time, I can say that some of the best deals are the ones you walk away from - because now you have the time and energy to devote to something much more profitable.

On a site devoted to real estate investors!!! 

They obviously don't have the time, care, and/or resources to devote to your investment.

It can be a very viable and easy way of going about it for new investors that don't have a lot of experience, out of state investors and those that have busy lives and can't devote a lot of time to real estate.

Currently I have little time to devote to start my own portfolio but do want to get better returns than a certificate of deposit and have little trust in the stock market1.
