Top 5 Reasons to become a Passive Real Estate Investor
Sell a house fast in Los Angeles, CA
Everyone wishes to make a profitable investment. But with tons of investment options – stocks, cryptos, NFTs – how is one supposed to manage investments while still working a full-time job, running a family, still having time for a life?!
That's indeed a tough call. Let's face the truth – not everyone has the time to time the market (pun intended). This is where passive real estate investing comes into the picture.
What Is Passive Real Estate Investing?
Passive real estate investing is an investment in which you place your capital in a real estate venture with no direct responsibility for managing it.
Let's say you're looking to sell a house fast in Los Angeles, CA. Direct real estate investing is renting out the property, handling the duties of being a landlord and managing it. Passive real estate investing is signing up a partnership with a real estate investor who buys the property from you, repairs and renovates it, flips it on the market and shares the profits with you. Sweet – you get a share of the profits while someone else does the heavy lifting for you.
There are several ways to become a passive real estate investor. You can purchase stock in real-estate businesses, invest in REITs (Real Estate Investment Trusts) or pool your capital in real estate companies.
If you're still wondering if passive real estate investing is the right option, here are a few benefits to convince you.
5 Compelling Benefits Of Passive Real Estate Investing
1. Eliminate Headaches & Free Up More Of Your Time Doing What You Love
With passive investing, you don't have to deal with the headaches of being a landlord – managing tenants, handling vacancies, maintenance and the dozen other challenges—you hand over the day-to-day operations to real estate experts who work in your best interests. You can be assured that your investment is in safe hands while freeing up your valuable time to do more of what you love.
2. Enjoy True Diversification
Passive investing allows you to invest in opportunities that would have been out of your budget earlier. A regular investor can't purchase a commercial property due to high acquisition rates. This is because real estate investment companies pool capital from millions of investors and finance as a group. By investing as a group, you can invest in multiple asset classes and locations, thus enjoying a genuinely diversified portfolio.
3. Generate An Extra Income Stream
One of the biggest benefits of passive real estate investing is that you generate additional income streams. By choosing the right real estate investment opportunities, you can get high rates of return from your investment, which can help you generate extra income for years to come.
4. Avoid Liability & Credit Risks
Investing passively allows you to eliminate the risks of direct funding. You do not have to personally visit banks to request multi-million-dollar loans, thus avoiding the liabilities and risks of directly owning real estate.
5. Make Money While You Sleep
When done correctly, passive real estate investing helps you generate a reliable and predictable cash flow that you can rely on for several years. The best part is that it's a rewarding experience as you enjoy the results without spending any time overseeing the investment.

When the Robots Took My Job
This is for RM Stockton's Write Club prompt for the month of April: AI Please allow me to vent. For "college," I went to a scam school that is now closed. We were promised internships that were never spoken of again after admissions, and we were promised help finding jobs. The first time I went to the career counselor's office, she was completely frazzled. She had no idea what to do with us, the film majors. The second time I visited her office, I let her know that I'd found myself a job, and she was visibly relieved.

Two Pink Lines
I had never really felt like a child. I'd always had to raise myself. My mother was just a teenager when she'd had me and consequently, we had spent my whole childhood arguing and fighting like a couple of sisters as opposed to mother and daughter. My father was older than my mother but still had some maturing to do himself. He focused his entire life on me, his little girl but never realized the pressure that put on me. I always felt I had to raise him even as he was trying to raise me. We raised each other. Then, I met him. He cares, he shows me a love like I've never known. For once, it's about me and I don't have to focus on other people's needs and what someone needs from me. Someone always wants something from you. That is what my parents have taught me. Love is selfish but it isn't with him. He is perfect, beautiful, funny, and can take me to places I've only dreamed about. Places outside my mind and my own pathetic life and I know that I will always love him. When we first met, I wanted him to have my children, but now? Right now, with us both still in high school? This is all happening so soon. I slipped into the restroom at work. It had been 6 weeks since my last menstrual and this was not normal. I couldn't wait any longer. I put the top on the test and waited. These 60 seconds felt like forever. What would we do? We were both seniors so we didn't have long to go before school was over but this was not the plan. The plan was for him to join the Army and me the National Guard and for me to get my associate's degree and then we marry, then have kids.
