In Part 2 of Hands-Off to Hands-On Investing, Dr. Josh Cochran and Dr. Reed Faldet get practical about moving from passive LP to active GP—without blowing up your calendar or your sanity. We cover sweat equity, how to value contributions, and why partnering your property manager as an owner can change your outcomes from “good enough” to pro-forma.

You’ll see a simple framework to decide where you should spend time (desire, drudgery, disinterest, distraction, and development zones), plus the “Who Not How” approach to scale faster. We also touch HUD lending realities, why banks often require experienced partners, and how to align incentives so everyone rows in the same direction.

Topics Covered
📌 Active vs. semi-passive vs. passive: where you fit right now
📌 Time, capital, expertise: the three resources every deal needs
📌 Sweat equity: valuing acquisitions, capital raising, and operations
📌 Making your property manager a GP (and when fees should flex)
📌 Incentives that actually drive performance (not just a 6% PM fee)
📌 The “desire/drudgery/disinterest/distraction” map to focus your work
📌 The development zone: skills to build this year
📌 “Who Not How” in real estate (and why HUD pushes you to partner)
