Where would you invest a $100k bonus in the current markets? Was thinking about a split between crypto interest accounts (in USDC), stocks, and crypto… but BlockFi legislation and general shakiness in the markets have me worried.

Just paid off student and car loans, and gave a fair bit for my parents’ mortgage.

Personally? Real estate

Whatever works for you.

I’m not a fan of REIT’s. Tried that, didn’t get good returns.

Good news is that you don’t have to invest in the market you live in.

There are also real estate syndications where you can be a limited partner in a larger deal. It’s not a REIT per say, think of it more as investing a smaller time private real estate operator.
