Where do you live? I think it's easier to buy locally for your first few deals
If you're buying out of state it can be harder but maybe look at Martel Turnkey. Pretty beginner friendly (tho the numbers aren't as great as if you'd do them yourself + make sure to look at comps of their real estate and not just their rental numbers)
Look at up and coming markets with a solid middle class. You can usually find 2 bedroom condos for the low $100k range. Buy two with at least 20% to get good pricing and offer them through the local housing authority to get top dollar rent.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply, very helpful
Put it in the market. Or split it 50/50 or 70/30. You have to work really hard just to get a decent return. Set it, reinvest dividends, and forget it

Do you want to invest it passively? Or are you planning to buy something that you either self manage or hire property management for?
Where are you located? What’s your comfort with investing out of state? What’s your level of knowledge of buying real estate and/or underwriting real estate as an investment?
Where is your current location ?
