My father is retired, and is looking into investments. Currently has rental properties, but at a certain point too many of them are a headache that he doesn’t want to deal with. What would you invest money in (2-3 Million) that is fairly hands off? We have talked about small businesses, but he really doesn’t want to have to manage the day to day activities. Rental properties that are >1 bedroom typically don’t have the return he would like to see.

Looking to make a career pivot and don’t know if I should outright quit and take a breather from work (I have enough savings) to visit family abroad or take FMLA, knowing I would quit immediately after. Do you think I’d burn bridges by taking FMLA, then quitting 2 weeks later? The only reason I’d do that option is for financial reasons and to have income while I am visiting family.

The closest thing I've found is summer student housing for schools in the city. Get 1 furnished bedroom in a 4 bed place. Any other options?
