Money for the down payments that comes in like an annuity either from your W2 efforts or from owning another business.

Basically an annuity with 1mor both parties being amateurs.

Heck, fixed annuities and agency debt are paying over 5% fixed, so if you really want to sleep well at night that is an option as well.Also, I have found that the landlord/tenant relationship is generally better with short term rentals than long term rentals.

  $300K gets you $1250 a month or $15K per year.He could get an annuity at 7-8% and get more like $2200 per month with that $300k....

But if they only use 50kwh, they still owe $12-  They’re basically setting up an annuity for the solar company. 

So we (not meaning me) buy annuities where everything will be 'ok' when we retire.  

I'd say the best options will be focusing on the endowment, or non qualified annuity. 

Many stockbrokers became “financial advisers,” and say what one might about them, the best ones are both personal financial coaches and multi-product experts (securities, annuities, insurance, etc.). 

An annuity is definitely a different level of risk exposure than this type of an alternative investment. 

Consider auto loans, inventory, commercial paper, annuities and even RE and equipment leases.
