---Sorry I should have specified my situation a bit. I am married, with an 8yr old child. I work full time, wife is going back to school and I would like to go back to school when she is finished. I would like our money to work for us in a way that interferes the least with our family life. I realize finding a vehicle to provide passive income and free time are somewhat inversely related--the more one has of one, the less they have of the other. If nothing else, I would at least like to further secure the future of my family. We already own a home (don't really need a bigger one) and are heavily invested in the stock market (401ks, and personal stock accounts).

thanks for any help

If you have little to no experience with rental property (just bought a book on landlording) and had $100,000 to invest only in real estate, where and how would you invest it?
1. buy as big a multi unit complex that you could qualify for (leaving some left for misc expenses of course)
2. buy a few properties in different locations?
3. or just pay off 60% of your mortgage balance.

Any other options I am forgetting in real estate only (I am already heavily invested in the stock market).

thank you for any help.
