Investing in real estate can be a great way to generate wealth, but it isn’t for everyone. For one, the term ‘‘passive income’’ really does not describe real estate investing accurately. 
Becoming an investor is a much more hands-on process than just buying a house and renting it out. All the maintenance and potential issues with tenants will become your responsibility. And if you want to grow your portfolio to multiple properties, the responsibilities will grow exponentially. 
The time and effort required simply isn’t realistic for someone who already has a full-time job, for example, or existing family commitments. On the other hand, some people would like to invest in real estate but just don’t have the cash.

Juggling 0% interest business credit cards is like juggling torches in a hay-covered barn. Drop one, and the whole place goes up in flames. However, if you are disciplined and know what you’re doing, they could be a great asset in helping you kick-start your real estate investing career.
Getting a 0% Business Credit Card
There’s lots of information online regarding 0% APR business credit cards. Most offer 0% interest for 12-18 months. This makes them well-suited for real estate projects that can be refinanced or sold, allowing you to pay back the cards before interest starts to kick in. These cards are relatively easy to get, provided you have good credit and a business entity.

1322 - Free Money? Can You Build a Real Estate Portfolio with Zero-Interest Credit Cards? By Jeff Vasishta

What’s easier to find, a unicorn or a rock star contractor?

If you read traditional financial independence/retire early (FIRE) bloggers, many of them reached their goals by simply pairing a high savings rate with a standard portfolio of stocks and bonds. There’s nothing wrong with that. It works, and anyone can replicate it.
