How would you invest $100,000 in today's climate?

Hi everyone.  In an attempt to try to stop my analysis paralysis, curious as to what established investors would do in the following scenario:

$100,000 liquid

No Debt at all

Remote IT Job making 100k/yr.  Location is a non issue.  Can move anywhere or stay put.

No family or anything holding back from making drastic moves.

What market/strategy would you use the 100k for buy/hold purposes in today's climate?

Midwest city like Indianapolis, KC or Cleveland.  Up and coming neighborhood near something really desirable.   5 down payments at 20k each on 100k houses.  Power the notes down, pull equity and buy more.   Keep it simple :)
