Active Investors
Passive Investors

Passive Investors take a hands-off approach, investing capital into deals managed by others, such as syndications, REITs, or private funds.
Active Investors dedicate significant time to sourcing, managing, and optimizing their properties. It can be a full-time or highly involved side business.
Passive Investors spend minimal time on their investments, typically reviewing opportunities and receiving returns without daily management responsibilities.
Active Investors have full control over decisions, from property selection to renovations and tenant management, allowing them to maximize returns but also assume all the risks.
Passive Investors trade control for convenience, relying on experienced operators to manage the asset while they focus on other priorities.
