Passive income: what's really passive?

In short: Few investments are truly passive. Buy-to-let can produce steady income, but involves tax, compliance and tenant management, which a managing agent can take on for a fee. Listed property funds (REITs) give property exposure without being a landlord. Tax wrappers such as ISAs protect returns from tax up to the annual allowance. This page is general information, not financial advice: speak to a regulated adviser before investing. Fraser Bond helps investors buy, let and fully manage London property.

Option	Effort	Things to know
Buy-to-let, self-managed	High	Compliance, repairs and tenants are your responsibility
Buy-to-let, fully managed	Low to medium	Management fees, but far less hands-on
REITs and property funds	Low	Prices go up and down with markets
Commercial property	Medium	Longer leases, but voids can be costly
Cash and bonds	Low	Lower returns, lower risk
