Invest the money in the market (bonds, treasuries, dividend aristocrats).

@Jamison Conti what did this price cost total if u don’t mind me asking?

I'm also reading Peter Conti's book Commercial Real Estate Investing for Dummies.Keep up the good work and encouraging others too, since there are others who have similar obstacles to overcome as you have.

@Alan Miegel Personally I’d keep the brownstone because it sounds like a property that would be hard to replace with something better on the open market, but if you’ve already decided to sell, the smart move is to take the money and park it in a high dividend yield index fund comprised of aristocrat stocks like SPDR S&P Dividend ETF.

Steve Conti used him before

Also I recommend the books by Peter Conti and David Finkel.   

I highly recommend any book by Peter Conti & David Finkle.

I recently read "Buying Real Estate without Cash or Credit" by Peter Conti.
