advice on investing $250 k
I'm a relatively new investor in real estate. Did 1 deal 30 years ago but want to ramp it up again. I have $250 k to invest and My goal is to maximize passive income over time. If you had $250 k what approach would you take to maximize this investment? (eg. buying as many properties with as little down, flipping, etc). Ideally I would like to use the positive cashflow to purchase more properties, but what's the initial strategy?
Appreciate any advice

If you want to maximize passive income, you might want to look at a fund of short term real estate backed loans. You can get regular double digit (pre-tax) income with no work except your initial due diligence and monthly reporting. That $250K can generate $27,500 in annual income, paid monthly. You will not have any appreciation, nor inflation protection, but you can get good diversification/risk reduction, and decent principal protection. If this is of interest, PM me and I can suggest a fund.
