What would you do with $160k?

I'm just starting out in real estate and I'm blessed to have about $160k sitting in dividend paying stock. I get about a $4500 dividend every year from that stock on top of the value increase in the stock. But with all the studying I've been doing in real estate, I know I can be doing way better than 5% returns.

So my question is what would you do with $160k and why?

I've been running businesses for the last ten years. So I feel comfortable building a business and creating systems. However my first moves will be to invest with the primary goal of learning and connect with some rock stars as @davidgreene would say.

Would love your thoughts!
