Real estate investing is not passive.

YouTube "gurus" love to talk about passive investing in real estate. Sorry, but that's just not true. Real estate investing is hard work. Even if you hire a property manager, you have to supervise them because so many are awful. One of the reasons I became a property manager is to elevate the profession.

 

Real estate investors lose a ton of money making rookie mistakes. It doesn't make sense to purchase a property with a potential 15% cash-on-cash return only to end the year with a -6% return because you failed to supervise the renter. I see landlords lose thousands, sometimes tens of thousands, making mistakes that are easily avoidable with a little education.

​
