It’s definitely worth trying out to see if it helps streamline your day-to-day real estate activities.

@David Taylor there is definatly a stigma attached to the activity.

Or conversely maybe you have NO interest in being an active participant at all.

I've been actively searching for and analyzing multifamily and single-family deals, making calls, and submitting offers.

Also have active listings all over California.

First, it could help you qualify as a real estate professional (REP), or at least make it easier to qualify, which would allow you to offset passive losses from your rental properties against your active income.

Because the total volume of sales for these lots is down, there's potential for a large gap between the lowest-priced active listing, and the most recent closed listing, solely due to the lack of available data (closed sales).

It seems like you enjoy being active and using your hands so maybe the BRRRR method (buy, rehab, rent, refinance, repeat) is your best bet as you could save some money and do plenty on your own, you could also do a live in flip potentially and sell it or rent it out later.

@Jonathan GreeneLots of great ways to invest in real estate.The decision of active v passive comes down to how time, expensive, knowledge and capital an investor has. 

As an active cyclist and triathlete, I am looking at places that are cycling and outdoor sports destinations to cater a rental to athletes.
