Real estate investing - is it passive income?

You’re scrolling through social media and stumble across your favorite real estate guru, or so the algorithm thinks. You see private jets, luxury cars and numbers bigger than you know how to pronounce. How can you not pay attention?!

Jokes aside, real estate investing is pushed onto us from many directions and it’s hard to ignore. And, you shouldn’t. Just like anything else, there is a time and place for real estate in your portfolio. Though, it’s important to consider the pros/cons as well as accept that in most cases there is no free lunch (also known as passive income).
