Pretty basic question. Trying to decide which route to take with that amount. Considered buying apartments or building storage facilities. Its not doing much sitting in the bank/ stock market/money market funds.

Definitely need more context. If under 1M net worth, focus on buying rentals nearby. Birmingham, Atlanta, are a couple places I started with the Rent-to-Value Ratio are good.
