$450k. Ideas on how to invest it

[Jon Horton]

Scenario:  $450k to invest

Background: Currently have 7 SFH rentals (turnkey purchase) that are currently financed with 1 commercial loan (so that I could get HELOC to pay off house and car notes quickly) and 1 tear down / new build under my belt. Have a busy W2 day job and not a lot of free time.

Goal is growth of current portfolio to ultimately fund retirement. I am currently 54 yrs old.

Given the above info, how would you invest the $450k? All SFH rentals? Another tear down/new build? Learn and do MF investment (small or join large deal)? Notes? Raw land flipping?

Just looking for ideas and opinions. Bring it on!
