Diversify, diversify. Do not put the full million into one thing.

Personally, I would put 15-25% in stocks. Index funds typically perform as well as actively managed funds in the end because they don't have expensive management fees. After that, I'd keep maybe 10-15% in marketable securities or CDs, something with relatively low returns but high liquidity in case you want to get access to that money quickly. 

The remaining 60-75% I would spread across several different types of real estate assets. This could be hard money loans, private lending, crowdfunding, or some type of apartment syndication.

And I would just reiterate that the success of your investment will depend on the sponsor. Go with a sponsor that has a number of deals under their belt. 

@Carl Sandquist

First of all, welcome to BiggerPockets. You've come to the right place if you're looking to learn more about real estate investing.

Are you looking to purchase an entire apartment complex or are you simply looking to invest in a syndicated deal? I'm not able to tell for sure from your initial post.

Regardless, as @David Thompson pointed out, you're entering a different market when you start dealing with apartment buildings with 5+ units.  The valuation is different than with residential property so the performance metrics become even more important than with residential property.

If you have specific questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Otherwise, I would recommend you spend some time browsing the multifamily forums here on BiggerPockets. There is a wealth of information here that will help you make an informed investment decision.

Particularly when you're just starting out, you'll want to work with an experienced developer.  Ask them about their track record and the previous projects they've done.  They should be able to provide you with information about their previous projects that you can review and verify.
