Have you ever had the perception passive investments in general (stocks, real estate funds...) generate a very low profit margin?
It stays around 0,6% monthly profit, what means you need 100,000$ invested in order to generate 600$ bucks a month.
For the average investor who is saving pennies or few hundreds of dollars every month on the best scenario, it will take a long time until he reaches somewhere in this financial world.
Therefore, for those who are starting their financial journey just now, maybe it's more advisable to allocate their funds on non-passive investments, what means they won't have a source of automatic profit, but at least they can pursue superior returns to maximize the potential of their money to generate further monthly income.
Once they manage doing this first step, then passive income investments start looking more attractive.
Well as an average investor investing in passive investment is a kinda not the best idea for you because you are trying to acquire wealth not store them and investing in passive investment is jus like a means of storing value not a means of acquiring a lot of wealth in short time.
Non-passive investment on the other hand is a very risky type of investment and that is why most people starting their financial journey don’t invest in them. As a starter something you have to know is that taking risks is always the best way to acquire wealth because all of the wealthy people took risks at one point of their lives and that risks changed them forever, some of them dropout of school while some resigned from their job and focus on starting new things which they were not sure about but they risked it and finally they made it.
People with financial freedom do consider investing in passive investment because they want to store their wealth in the most promising and profitable investment.
As a starter I’d would advice considering investing in bitcoin and other tech assets, that is just my opinion
