Novice investor here so please bear with me. I opened a vanguard account dec 2019 and invested around $1K..over the course of the year I invested about $68k.. I just checked the total gains and it shows about $10k. That’s about 14% gain via investment in small amounts in vgt, zoom, tsla, ark, vtsax etc..Is it fair to assume 15% gain year over year ?

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash. Assets are down a decent amount with the current market cycle and I’d prefer not to sell them to cover the debt , although they easily could. Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?

100-150k in cash how would you invest it ? 1. Buy low priced out of state property all cash (~100k multi family in city like Cleveland ) With remaining money fix up property, rent and hold. Or 2. Buy multiple properties with loan and put down payments on 2 multi family homes, (up to ~400k each 20% down) out of state or possibly local. Buy mainly turnkey, rent and hold.
I know either way should essentially work but would love to hear different perspectives.
