So, I would need to see more definitions of active And passive activities before drawing any conclusions.

I've arrived at this conclusion;Putting depreciating assets in a retirement account is not ideal. 

That has been my conclusion anyway, curious to hear your thoughts.

I sort of came to this conclusion after a LOT of thought.

For a while I've toed around the idea of real estate investing but always came back to the same conclusion (Not enough cash to start) I was looking into wholesaling to help build up some funds and I was getting excited until (Like many things in Illinois) WHAM!

I can't help but come to the conclusion that I can't trust a PM that is responsible for hundreds of properties to give the care and attention needed to selecting the right tenant.

In Conclusion, be careful for ANY purchase that you intend to make.

@Justin HuntI’ve been abroad for a while and came to the conclusion that passive investing in real estate syndications was a far more pragmatic way of investing from abroad to avoid the complications of managing with direct ownership.

Starrs Mill James, you could draw a similar conclusion for the East Cobb area with Walton, Lassiter and Pope as 3 of the top 6.  

In conclusion, KW is the best place to start and get the best training.
