from BiggerPockets Real Estate Podcast · host BiggerPockets

Can you make the same returns as active real estate (if not more) with “passive” real estate investing? What if you’ve got a busy day job, hobbies you want to pursue, or don’t have the landlording drive to build a rental property portfolio? Well, passive income investing might be just what you need. How do you know you’re the right fit for it, and what kind of real estate investments are the most passive? We’re giving you what you need to get started. We’ve got two active and passive real estate investors, Devon Kennard (former NFL player!) and Kathy Fettke, on the show to break down the differences between active and passive real estate investing. We’ll discuss who should invest in each type and whether it’s worth it to stay at your job and invest passively on the side. Plus, we’re all sharing our favorite active and passive investments that we’re putting our money into today. But how much of a return can you make when you’re investing passively, doing less of the work? We’re giving you real return numbers from some of our passive income sources so you can know what to expect when putting your money to work.
