If you had 75k to 100k of capital what route would you go about investing? I have experience in wholesaling and buy and hold. It's been a while since I've done any active investing. So I wanted to see what has been good for everyone. Texas and Georgia would be my areas for investing.

FHA property in the market with the highest loan limits you can find.

Think about this - 2% appreciation on a property falling on a 3.5% equity check is a +57% return on equity. 

Do the same exercise at 3% - 5%, layer on principal paydown and (eventually) cash flow.

    What are your goals? Everybody has different goals and risk tolerance. Some ideas include:

    - Buy 3-4 SFR long term rentals in an affordable area like St Louis

    - Buy 1 SFR long term rental or short term rental in a more expensive area like Texas or Georgia

    - Do 1-2 house flips at a time in Texas or Georgia with leverage

    - Save the money and wait for a correction in the real estate market

    - Buy a NNN commercial deal at a 6% cap rate and earn $500 per month passively

    - Put all of it into the beat down stock market and wait for recovery

    @Scott E. Thanks Scott... yea I'll be currently getting the capital from a long term rental that has appreciated. Overall goal is to get about 10k monthly coming from Real estate. I'm already in the stock market as a day trader now so I'm not putting anything else there. I like idea about holding until the market correct itself but who knows when that would be🤔 but I will definitely hold some for it

    You're get there, you're on the right track. I'll just warn you that getting to $10k per month is going to take time. In these market conditions, it's going to take a long, long time. So be patient, and be a sponge learning as much as you can along the way.

     This 100% depends on your goals.  As a young investor I personally am taking a more active approach at the moment, flipping properties, knowing that in a few years as life gets busier I'll need to take a more passive approach.  Not only is this building my capital and confidence as an investor, but the amount of knowledge I'm getting about each neighborhood I invest in is invaluable and helping me scout out which areas I know I'll want long term properties in once I decide to shift my approach.

    Hey @Joe Threats unless you are fully committed to being obsessively focused on a certain asset class…as an ACTIVE investor…I would highly recommend that you deploy your capital into a passive investment opportunity. It is just too difficult to chase multiple paths to success. It usually ends in failure or massive burnout or difficulties in having a life and family, etc.

    There are lots of passive opportunities on crowd-funding websites like Crowdstreet and Fundrise. There are also lots of syndications and funds you can invest in.

    If you do want to be obsessively, 100% focused however, I would defer to some of the commenters above and ask; “what do you really want to do?” Good luck!

    @Paul Moore thanks Paul, yes I know for sure I can handle the rental property since that's what I been holding onto the last 3 years... I just recently in the last year became a full-time daytrader so I have flexibility.... I'm most likely will look for long-term rentals via buying low and brrrr them until I aquire enough until I can cash flow the amount I want. I will look into syndication more as well.
