I have friends killing it in Crypto and stocks and other asset classes...

The money in weed, just like the easy money in crypto currencies, has already passed by...

It's easy in today's market of crypto-millionaires and fast-action TV shows to feel like you're missing out on a craze, but the worst thing to do is get yourself into a property without knowing the numbers behind it, resulting in sleepless nights, unpaid mechanics liens and potential foreclosure due to hasty decision making. 

If I wanted to race, I'd buy crypto instead of real estate...As for my car, I screwed up on that one and am paying the price. 

A safe store of wealth in a more stable currency.

Jiu Jitsu, Day Trading, Leadership, Investing, Cryptocurrencies, Comic Books (Nerd Alert), Graphic Design, Knifemaking, Marketing, Wakesurfing, Fitness, Keto, BioHacking & I’m absolutely 110% addicted to tacos & audiobooks!

No money crypto, baseball cards, stamps, coins, skateboards, bikes. 

If I dumped all my cash into this (I also have stocks and crypto etc, so I am diversified) I could in theory generate enough income to reach my goal, however I am nervous that buying in a different metro may have been a much better option, or buying C grade SFRs and duplexes in a peaky market will comeback to ruin me, or buying apartment buildings / complexes would have been a much better option.Also if I want to buy apartments, how do I accomplish that?

You will be locked in at a much lower fixed rate and you'll knock out that debt using cheaper dollars over time as inflation erodes the value of our currency.

I currently have no real savings outside of my company's 401(K) and only a small amount of liquid stocks and cryptocurrency that I could sell.One of the private equity firms founders suggested flipping a couple multi-family or single-family homes in order to pay off my debts and build a war chest to be used as a down payment on a rental property (I thought this sounds like a good idea).
