Day trading is definitely not passive, but investing into the S&P 500 broadly, without picking stocks - or just "buying a slice of American business" as Warren Buffett calls it - is very passive. 

Give them more of the project for 0% preferred equity (70/30)... however, I only do this type of deal if I have nothing into the project because the clock won't work against me.There is a million ways you can slice up the pie.

Any other way you slice it I see you losing money.

Many of these commercial loans are CMBS and are sliced up and sold for investments on Wall-Street.

And so on.Since I manage my own properties via my company and never made that switch myself, I'd appreciate hearing input from self-managing investors about whether they've thought about outsourcing, what would make them switch and necessarily give up a slice of cash flow, whether they've just done what I did and decided to open a PM company, and any other thoughts you might have.Thanks!

Or, these CMOs were sliced into a very good piece, an OK piece, and a junk piece.

Seems to me risky mortgage debts packaged on stock markets, sliced diced and priced (since no one knows what they're buying anymore), the slightest natural recession which we were due for, knocked these mortgages over like a stack of bad debt dominoes.

I sent him some deals that I was working on and then he said his guy wanted a bigger slice.  

For 1099, you should expect to pay more.I would not recommend paying a slice of the action, and for management, hourly pay isn't really good either - his value is not driven by hourly production and his hours won't be regular. 

The idea is you could get a slice of the deal for finding it but it would be even better if you could learn a lot more.
