If I had a million dollars...

[Thomas L.]

If you had a million dollars, how would you invest in real estate for ongoing cashflow, diversified portfolio, low-risk, longterm play with minimal hassle? Would you ever consider buying 10 $100,000 SFH's outright? Finance 50 $100,000 homes? Buy an apartment building? Invest in REIT's and crowdsharing funds?

$1M gets me all cash in an 10 CAP NNN. That's $100k/year clear, no fuss, no babysitting. In 10 years I get all my money in back...or,

$1M gets me $4M in NNN at 9 CAP with 25% down. That would be clearing about $130k/year, no fuss, no babysitting. In 8 years I get all my cash back...or,

$1M gets lets me loan it out at 10% simple interest for 20 years with a balloon at the end. Result: In 20 years I triple my money, with $100k/year in cash flow over those 20 years, and at the end of every 2 years, I have a new $200k to invest as a DP on a new NNN property.
