Hands-Off vs Hands-On Investment — Which Suits You Best?

Hands-Off vs Hands-On Investment — Which Suits You Best?

Every investor is different. Some love being involved in the day-to-day, while others prefer to treat property purely as a financial asset. Knowing which approach suits you best can shape your whole strategy.

🛠 Hands-on
You’re the landlord, the manager, and sometimes even the handyman. You deal directly with tenants, arrange maintenance, and stay on top of legal requirements yourself. This can save management fees, but it demands time, organisation, and energy.

🔑 Hands-off
You focus on the investment, while an agent handles the rest. Tenants, repairs, compliance, and rent collection are managed professionally. This allows you to scale up your portfolio without doubling your workload, and frees you from the stress of day-to-day issues.
