Best Way To Invest With Least Amount of Time?
HI BP. Like many others, I work a 9-5 and commute heavily back & forth to work. By the time I'm home it's like 7pm and i have a couple kids also. I want to invest and make some money and have my money work and move for me but not sure the best way possible. Could anyone enlighten me on some options? I'm in the northern california market, bay area. Very expensive market.

In real estate, lowest time investment is probably within a REIT. Another option would be as part of a syndicate. But both of these require some research on your behalf that you're not sinking your money on the Titanic.
Any investment is going to require some kind of time commitment by you to make sure the numbers are solid, realistic, and fit your overall knowledge base and goals. Warren Buffet says he doesn't invest in anything he doesn't understand. That's a pretty good motto to keep in mind.
