I've had a BiggerPockets account for a little while but wasn't active at all in the past.

One is focused on real estate and its all military folks and vets (I'm active duty Navy) and the other one is focused on being well rounded, while also building wealth and passive income.

@Alex Mull as some with experience in both turnkey and all-in active investing, I can tell you the biggest advantage is saving, time, hassle, and some full-service turnkey companies mitigate your risk by doing the upfront renovations and placing qualified residents while the company still owns the house.

Hi Ryan, I'm a licensed real estate broker in Illinois and also a property manager, and yes, in the state of Illinois, you need to be a licensed real estate broker (to be compliant) in order to manage property owned by others, because property management is considered a form of a real estate activity under Illinois law.

I doubt you'll make 11% with the S&P, but it is probably still your best bet.

However, I'd bet that the goal for most folks on this forum is to be financially independent, and never have to worry about where the money is coming from ever again.
