Is using Fidelity a good option for someone just starting to invest? I have a 401k right now but I want to open a Roth IRA and I want to invest in green companies but I barely know what I’m doing. I’ve used apps to try to invest $50 here and there and I just don’t trust them as much as an actual established company. But I don’t wanna be played. Any advice?

I use fidelity for my IRA and brokerage. The UI isn’t as friendly as some of the robo advisor apps but I’m fine with it. You can look into ESG (environmental, social, governmental) mutual funds and ETFs fidelity has at https://www.fidelity.com/mutual-funds/investing-ideas/socially-responsible-investing

Fidelity or Merrill Edge are both good.

I’m 25 and have found a duplex I’m considering purchasing as a rental property. Planning on renting both units and have the cash to make the down payment without an issue. My cash flow analysis has a payback period of 3 years for my down payment and a 13 year payback period for the whole investment. I think financially it makes sense. My question is, is it realistic for a 25 year old young professional to handle dealing with all the extra curricular’s that come with owning a rental property ?
