Can someone provide some knowledge here? I’ve recently saved $100K and have a chance to invest this into an investment property which will wipe out most of my savings. Does it make sense to continue investing this $100K in hopes of dividends / appreciation or invest into real estate but may wipe me of my savings?

How long will it take you to build up another $10k or $20k in savings that would give you a bit of a buffer for an emergency fund?

Most investment properties operate near break even for at least 6 months while you “stabilize” them, so I definitely wouldn’t suggest investing everything into one if it wipes your emergency fund out. Just keep saving for now.
