Investigate to see if there are people/jobs moving there, and if there are, start running evaluations on every property for sale that pops up in that area.

If you do not have 300k income you are not even allowed to participate at Accredited-Investor only Investment.It's just matter of time until the authority comes and investigate more private investment that involves public/investors money.I am also involved in certain clawback litigation against previous quite-famous-syndication that was under SEC receivership now.It's fun to watch how the GP has to sold all their Rolex watches to bring back the money back to investor.

Use some for buy and hold (I personally would prefer apartments rather than buying a few single family homes) and some for lending/trust deed investing.In either category, you must know what you are doing, know how to vet the investment, how to vet the sponsor (if investing in a larger fund of some sort), the laws and regulations on the lending side, how to investigate which areas to invest in buy and hold and notes/trust deeds for that matter.So as you have already said several times, lots to think about . . .
