The Hidden Burdens of ‘Passive’ Rental Investing
Operational Hassles Erode Returns and Control
Traditional real estate investing is far from passive—rental properties often come with hidden costs, stress, and operational risks.
Property values fluctuate with the market
Rising interest rates reduce cash flow margins
Repairs, vacancies, and management issues erode returns
Liquidity is limited and oversight is constant
This is why many sophisticated investors are moving from rentals to real estate notes.
Even with a property manager, you're exposed to tenant risks, market swings, and unexpected costs. It’s far from passive. Traditional real estate investing requires operational involvement, constant oversight, and long holding periods. This adds stress and reduces liquidity.
