Not sure this is where I would go for investment advice but since you asked...how soon do you need the money and what shape are your other investments? I generally find real estate too concentrated and too hard to liquidate quickly if needed. The individuals that make money at it that I know are passionate about it and it is their full time job. I tend to stick to ETFs and mutual funds. I have some stocks I picked up in March when things got too cheap. But since August I have been moving to cash in anticipation of a fall correction. That being said I started watching real estate about six months ago but more because I want to buy something to retire to in a few more years.
