I know a lot of investors that just want to focus on the passive side so they can continue to spend more time with family, generate income to ease up on hours at their full time job, preserve wealth, grow their retirement savings, ect.

As a retired person I didn’t have many financing options for a difficult commercial deal and had to pay higher financing costs.
