Thank you, @Account Closed! I have a busy full-time job so it would have to be pretty passive. I am looking for somewhere to park my savings long term (and I can add about $4k to that pot per month). My very preliminary understanding is I will get better returns over the long term putting money into real estate than I’d likely get from the stock market (including the tax incentives, appreciation, etc.). 

Ideally I’d use these gains for long-term things like kids tuition and retirement. I would certainly welcome monthly cash flow from rent payments, but my work income is high enough that it’s not my main goal.

Does that sound like real estate investing is worth looking into for my situation (in general, of course)? 

Hello - I am in my early thirties and have now paid off all of my debts and built up about $250k in savings.  I am very new to this but I think I’m ready to put about $200k into my first real estate investment.

What would you do with that much money to start with? What should I look into first?
