If you're someone who can't dedicate 10-20 hours extra per week to education, calling owners and brokers, underwriting, and growing your investor list, it might be better to put that 25k in something passively for now and just learn from that process.

I'm still trying to get a very experienced and dedicated RE agent that probably won't abandon you once the deal is closed.

There will be immense, sustained, dedicated effort involved.

it doesnt matter what type of account you open just make sure the account is dedicated toward your business.  

For 19yrs I transacted the rental from an account dedicated to the rentals and held deposits in a savings account. 

You can do it as a side hustle but you have to dedicate time everyday to being an agent.

Personally, I dedicate all my funds to automate towards certain accounts to prevent myself from overspending or dipping into savings.

Owning real estate is a business, it is not passive at all it takes time dedication and a lot of work.
