Took 100k cash out against mortgage at 2.5 percent for a potential real estate investment. That deal didn’t went through . What’s the least stressful investment ( index funds etc) where I should put in this 100k to get me more than 2.5 ( possibly 8-10) annually for next 20 years ?

VOO or VTI are the two main popular options.

Saw this map on Reddit. Hope it helps. Whatever ETF you put it into, just make sure you either believe the thesis or has a low expense ratio. If you don’t know what you’re doing, just go with the big main ones. Good luck.
