Experienced successful Investors

[Paula Smith]

If you had $150,000 and wanted to find a deal with maximum cash flow, where would you invest and why? How would you analyze the deal? What factors would be most important to you (cap rate, property condition, etc)? I'm a 32 year old Realtor in Southern CA and looking to buy my first investment. I've been looking at out of state commercial multifamily. I've considered local STR, but am scared of being unsuccessful and having a flop AirBNB. Commercial multifamily with tenants in place seems like the "safer" route. Anyone with experience willing to provide some input?
