Best Way to kick off investing with 750K

[Jerry Shank]

Relatively new to real estate investing. In a unique situation (at least for myself) and wanting to get ideas. Recently have come into 500K and looking to see best recommendations on how to move this into real estate. Have done STR for the past few years and am strongly considering going deeper into it. Goal is to make real estate main source of income and sights are on best cash returns while building a portfolio. Just wanted ideas about how any experienced investor would recommend to go about investing this with the goal of getting the best return immediately and then continue to scale. Thoughts, ideas are appreciated.

 F real estate investing. Too risky. Bet all of it on the Browns to win the Super Bowl.
