If you had $100,000 cash, where would you invest?

[Amy Hietala]

I’ll have cash $100,000 in May, I have $50,000 now invested in the stock market (receiving a small windfall in May). I figured I’d wait to invest in something bigger in May when I have more for a downpayment. My initial research seems to point to investing in 1 larger property for more cash out of state is better than buying multiple  cheap small places in questionable areas. First  time buying rentals ever. Will use a PM as I work 65 hrs per week at my current job. If you were me, what would you do with $100,000 “cash”?
