It sounds simple enough — rent comes in and, ideally, it's greater than the rental expenses, resulting in positive cash flow — but real estate investors agree that rental income shouldn't be categorized as passive. "You hear that real estate investing is passive, and that's certainly not been my experience," New England-based investor Tess Waresmith, who owns five units, told Business Insider. But when I'm not actively buying, I don't spend much time on real estate." Real estate syndicationWith real estate syndication deals, a group of investors pool together their capital to purchase a single property managed by the syndicator. He recommends starting with an online search for "real estate syndicates" or "commercial real estate syndicates" if you're specifically interested in commercial deals.

Courtesy of Erik SmolinskiHe says he has a long position in iShares Russell 2000 ETF (ETF, IWM) and ​​iShares 20+ Year Treasury Bond (ETF, TLT). AdvertisementThe portfolio addition for the hands-off investor: the iShares Russell 2000 ETFSmolinski recognizes that, as an investor, he's "more active than I imagine most people want to be." For the everyday investor who wants to be more hands-off, he recommends buying the iShares Russell 2000 ETF. This investment tracks the Russell 2000 Index, which measures the performance of small caps. That would be the next expression, so: looking at strong sectors, strong sub-sectors, then finding the leading stocks within those strong performing sub-sectors."

"Since then, my lowest return has been 13.78% in 2018," the 32-year-old California-based Marine vet told Business Insider. This story is available exclusively to Business Insider subscribers. While the stock market is his bread-and-butter, he's been gradually diversifying his portfolio and adding real estate in the mix. About two years ago, Smolinski broke into the commercial real estate investing space.

Without the encouragement of his teacher, he wouldn't have started investing as early as he did — and may not have even started at all. One of the most popular passive investing approaches is to buy an index fund. Insider has spoken to a handful of investors who have used index investing to build wealth . More than 95% of their stock-market money is in three index funds : the Vanguard Total Stock Market Index Fund ( VTSAX ), the Vanguard Total International Stock Index Fund ( VTIAX ), and the Vanguard Emerging Markets Stock Index Fund ( VEMAX ). But she learned through trial and error that investing in index funds is simple and effective.

I don't know what's going on. "That's a really, really dangerous point for all traders: When you first start, you don't know anything and you know you don't know anything; then, you spend a bunch of time and effort learning; and now you think you know something but unfortunately, you still don't know what you don't know." Ultimately, Smolinski's mistake, which he categorizes as the "most pivotal moment in my trading career," forced him to reevaluate his trading proficiency and strategy. Reevaluating his strategy and getting 'super organized'Smolinski didn't have a trading plan up until his first big loss. However, his account drawdown prompted him to create a blank Word document and start his trading plan, which has grown to 388 pages.

He created detailed trading logs and plansAs an active trader, Smolinski believes that having both a trading plan and a trading log are essential. It's titled "Wealth Development and Trading Plan" and is broken out into various sections, including "strategy outlines."
