A rookie starting with the end in mind

[Danny Lambert]

Hello BP Community,


I like to imagine my real estate life when I retire from wage work in 10-15 years. I am curious what type of investing you think provides the best return on investment for a half-time job (roughly 25-30 hours a week) and roughly $1.7-2 million in today’s money. A diversity of answers is welcome as I decide where to point my investing after I start my first house hack. I certainly understand that your opinion may vary by market and I cannot base my investment strategy on speculation or “swinging for the fences.”

For context, I want to keep my mind sharp and net wealth growing (or stable) as I age once I have the specified amount. I also want to spend a lot of time with my loved ones and hobbies (even if that means I’m driving a Corolla instead of a sports car).

Thanks a bunch!
