Could this be the biggest disruption to Smartphones in the past 15 years? 📲
💥Heads up! There's a new disruptor in smartphones: Mode Mobile. Mode can turn your phone from a cost into an income source — and investors are watching the launch of the company’s pre-IPO offering.1
🤳Mode saw 32,481% revenue growth from 2019 to 2022, ranking them the #1 overall software company on Deloitte’s most recent fastest-growing companies list. Mode’s flagship product EarnPhone, a budget smartphone, has already helped consumers earn & save $325M+.
🫴 Mode’s Pre-IPO offering1 is live at $0.25/share — 20,000+ shareholders already participated in its previous sold-out offering. There’s still time to get in on Mode’s pre-IPO raise and even lock in 100% bonus shares2 … but only until their current raise closes for good.
1 Mode Mobile currently has no formal plans for an IPO.
2 A minimum investment of $1,950 is required to receive bonus shares. 100% bonus shares are offered on investments of $9,950+.
3 Please read the offering circular and related risks at invest.modemobile.com. This is a paid advertisement for Mode Mobile’s Regulation A+ Offering.

The Best Strategy for Passive Property Investment
For many, investing in “bricks and mortar” is appealing because of the tangible nature of real estate. However, being a landlord often comes with the responsibilities of maintenance—cleaning, plumbing, painting, and gardening—to keep properties tenant-ready and maximise income. While active management can build wealth, not everyone has the time or desire for hands-on property care.
Passive real estate investment, on the other hand, allows you to earn income without the daily work of property management. Here are some top strategies:
Top Strategies for Passive Real Estate Investing
1. Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs)
Companies that own or finance income-producing real estate.
- Benefits: Liquidity, diversification, and regular dividends
- Drawbacks: Market volatility and limited control over assets
2. Crowdfunding Platforms
Investing alongside others to fund real estate projects.
- Benefits: Low entry capital and access to high-value projects
- Drawbacks: Limited liquidity and platform dependency
3. Real Estate Syndications
Pooling capital with other investors for larger investments.
- Benefits: Access to significant projects and expert management
- Drawbacks: Longer investment terms and reduced liquidity
4. Turnkey Rental Properties
Properties that are renovated and ready for tenants, with professional management.
- Benefits: Immediate rental income and no management hassle
- Drawbacks: Higher initial costs and reliance on property managers
My Experience and Conclusion
Having personally managed properties, I understand the effort needed to maintain them. Yet, the appeal of passive investing is undeniable. With the right strategy, you can build wealth while minimising hands-on involvement.
Choose the investment that fits your financial goals and risk tolerance. Whether it’s REITs, crowdfunding, syndications, or turnkey rentals, staying informed and strategic will help you achieve success in real estate.
