Have $2 Million, what to do?

[Jerry Shen]

I have $2 Million to invest in real estate (part of windfall for selling a tech company). After reading the Ultimate Beginner's guide, I've settled on apartment investing. My question is, would it be better to get multiple properties or invest all $2 million into a single property (down payment on a $10 mill). My goal is to use the cash flow from the $2 million investment to fund my lifestyle and start another company. I would ideally like to get $250K yearly cashflow from this investment. Thanks.
