The host of this podcast, an experienced real estate fund manager with over 3,500 investment deals under his belt, offers a sobering account about the difficulties associated with real estate investing in this episode. He gives the example of a doctor who invested in an apartment block in search of passive income, only to have a lot of problems because of inexperience and bad management.

Due to the property manager's negligence, the doctor's investment became a demanding full-time job with unsatisfactory renters, poor maintenance, and financial losses. The host stresses that real estate investing can develop into a full-fledged business endeavour with its own set of dangers and obligations when done on its own. To avoid the problems of direct investing, he suggests using a more passive method, such as making an investment in a real estate fund.
