Passive vs. Active Investing: What’s Worth Your Time. The Modern American Dream Podcast

“Passive vs. Active Investing: What’s Worth Your Time (and What’s Not)”

🔥 Everyone wants passive income—but let’s be real, how passive is real estate… really?

This episode breaks down the full real estate investing ladder, from full-time hustle to hands-off income. I rank them from the most active (and most profitable) to the most passive (and lowest return):

🏗️ Most Active = Highest Return
1️⃣ Flipping properties
2️⃣ BRRRR strategy
3️⃣ Self-managed rentals (short-term + long-term)
4️⃣ Long-term rentals with a property manager
5️⃣ Real estate syndications
6️⃣ Real estate funds
7️⃣ REITs

We talk:
✅ Time vs ROI tradeoffs
✅ Where new investors should start
✅ What wealthy investors do once they scale
✅ The hidden risks of “passive” investing no one warns you about

📈 If you're stuck deciding between hustle and hand-off, this episode is your blueprint.
