@ceo_of_monoeye_dating real estate might be the best bet for you then.

I’d go with 20-40 units (big enough to hire management company and not get dragged into tenant issues).

My say is buy an investment property.

But go as big as you can because it’s less risk. In a 4 plex one tenant leaves you lose 25% of monthly revenue, in a 20 unit building you lose 5% per vacancy.

Yah, if I were you I’d buy a multi family building, and hire a management company to manage it.
