Hi Everyone!

I’m excited to announce that BiggerPockets has acquired Left Field Investors (LFI) and, with this acquisition, we’re launching a groundbreaking new platform for passive investors: PassivePockets.

The passive investing space has seen tremendous growth over the past few years, but it’s also faced challenges—shifting markets, questionable influencers/syndicators, and a lack of transparency between GP and LP. Many of us, including myself, have faced losses with crumbling deals. I’ve heard your concerns, and BiggerPockets is stepping up to provide stronger support and more robust education to empower passive investors.

That’s why we’re creating PassivePockets.

This isn’t just another platform; it’s our commitment to bringing transparency, education, and a true community to the world of passive real estate investing.

To make this a reality, we knew we needed more than just an idea—we needed a partner with deep expertise. That’s why we teamed up with Left Field Investors (LFI). With passionate co-founders, a vibrant community, and hands-on experience navigating the highs and lows of investing, they have built an incredible foundation and embody everything we envision for PassivePockets.

By combining LFI’s expertise with BiggerPockets’ reach and resources, we’re creating something truly special—a platform that will empower you to make smarter, more informed investment decisions.

Here’s what PassivePockets will offer when it launches:

  • Educational Resources: Masterclasses, articles, podcasts, and a weekly newsletter—all designed to help LPs make better decisions.
  • Due Diligence Tools: Rigorous vetting frameworks and community-sourced sponsor ratings and reviews.
  • Investor-Only Spaces: Private forums and weekly Zooms, exclusive to investors—no sponsors or capital raisers allowed.
  • Sponsor Directories: Detailed profiles with track records, investor reviews, strategies, and more.
  • Deal Directories: Comprehensive deal profiles, webinars, and direct sponsor connections in dedicated forums.
  • Ratings & Reviews: Honest feedback from members who have invested with sponsors—the good, the bad, and everything in between.

Our mission is clear: Shine a light on the passive investing space and provide you with the tools and knowledge to navigate it more confidently. PassivePockets is designed to do just that, and we believe that the combination of Left Field Investors and BiggerPockets is the perfect way to fulfill this vision.

We can’t wait to share this new chapter with you.

Thank you for being an essential part of the BiggerPockets community. Here’s to a bright future together!

A special shoutout to @Lindsey Buxton and @Jim Pfeifer, along with many members of the BiggerPockets and Left Field Investors team for making this possible!

    Good to hear about the combination.  I have found a lot of value in being a LFI Infielder, so I am interested in seeing how this new forum progresses.

    Wish I had this 4 years ago! Could have saved me from 8 syndications going sideways! But thank you for getting this together and make the acquisition, it sounds perfect and can hopefully save other from some of the same issues. Congrats!
