Most of what we talk about on this show relate to passive real estate investing. Anything from acquisition to management to taxes to retirement accounts to market selection, neighborhood selection, all that good stuff. Some of that does apply to active real estate investing where you're more actively involved and take greater responsibility. I don't think I've ever done a show or an episode where we compare and contrast the different strategies related to active real estate investing and compare that at least at a high level to you as an investor on the passive side. This episode is dedicated to learning more about the different ways, methods and strategies about active real estate investing. Not so much to teach you how to do it, but what it is and what's involved and how that compares the pros and cons to passive real estate investing.

That doesn't mean that one is better than the other. There are pros and cons and you could argue and debate both and everybody has their preference. However, they have a different end result. Some are very short-term and some are long-term in terms of the investment horizon. How they're treated from a tax perspective is different. Short-term capital gains versus long-term capital gains. Active real estate investors purchase and renovate. Typically, there are other strategies but purchase and renovate properties to flip them and to resell them as quickly as possible to maximize their profits. Sometimes they do the same but hold them in their portfolio. These investors are involved in every part of the deal, from selection to obtaining financing to personally guaranteeing the loan and managing the investment. The investor is hands-on and actively participating in making the investment pay off.

Active investing is significant from an undertaking perspective. It's very involved and house flipping is essentially a full-time job for many people while renting out the property may require less time, especially if the investor hires a management company. Essentially, you're rolling up your sleeves and getting involved in the many facets or parts that are involved in that process. There is a difference and for many people, they may love all the different strategies on the active side but for many people, they prefer to buy and hold and build a passive portfolio. That may start with active real estate investing and transition into more of a passive role. That's what we're going to talk about. With that, I'm going to introduce my guest who's going to talk to us about everything that he has done and he has a very interesting story.
