Rent and put money into the stock market VS Invest in NY property?

I haven’t logged in for awhile and see your question was 14 weeks ago …. But that’s what I did, I found a below-market rental, saved and invested. I did well. But there’s an argument to be made for both sides. If I was starting over, I’d save and invest until I had enough money to carry me say 2 years if I lost my job, then save for the down payment, then buy something I could comfortably afford and still be able to save money. I would probably not buy to the full amount a bank said they’d lend me.

About to get about $10k from freelance. I have a full time job so my bills are already covered. Unsure how to split the $10k - got about $3k on credit cards to pay off, but no other debt. Should I throw the rest into savings? Buy some more stock (have a few $100 invested already)? Could do a bit of each of course but as I split it up it feels like less and less and like I'm not going to see substantial growth either way.

Should I stop contributing to my 401K and put all my energy into paying off my student loan? Right now it's unconsolidated so there are rates between 3-6% and it's 20k.

I crawled and clawed from 14k to 700k a year over 25 years. Learn from my mistakes. Who wants to learn how to make more money? Let’s beat this fucking game:)
