Nothing like real life experience as the best teacher ever!

I am at a point in life I like the lazy river investing strategy not the rollercoaster ride.

Also, if I had no desire to at least take time to  see it, Id make life simple and invest in a CD or high yield fund. 

I show people how to use permanent life insurance to supplement retirement with tax-free income.

Explore my personal favorites, Set For Life by Scott Trench or The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey, for invaluable financial insights.3.

I am starting out later in life (age 50) and looking to have some passive cash flow and hoping for appreciation over time. 

Look for opportunities to increase your income, like a higher-paying job, a side hustle, a new business venture, a new real estate investment, or something else.Avoid lifestyle inflation: As your income increases, you may be tempted to upgrade your lifestyle, but not everything you buy will increase your net worth.

Quote from @Melanie Baldridge: Reminder:Ground improvements qualify for bonus depreciation.This includes various landscaping.Roads and external parking areas.Sidewalks and pathways.Fences.Utility systems (including the installation or improvements to water, sewage, drainage, and electrical systems).Outdoor lighting.Rec facilities (like playgrounds, sports courts, and swimming pools).And more.It's a big category for depreciation/bonus depreciation that we love.Great material for 15 year life and eligible for bonus depreciation  

The bonus depreciation goes down to 40% next year, so I want to make sure I would still qualify for the 60% bonus depreciation by purchasing the property in 2024, renting it out, but then taking over the managing of it for the remainder of the life of it.  

Set for Life by @Scott Trench is a great start as is @Dave Meyer's new book.
