My mother and I have been renting a home on Long Island for the past decade.

I've started may years back, decades in NYC when it was tough.

Industrial is great too, long term, but a little overpriced still for now. or sell, pay the taxes, invest in VOO, get 8-10% next 30 years, or invest in REITs, get 10-12% next 30 yearsor buy MUNIs, i'm getting 5% tax free, which is an effective yield of  7.94% for part of my emergency fundIf you die 1 day , 1 yr, 1 decade after you sign an Annuity, they keep all your money, your wife/kids get nothing, unless you add them, but then the returns do go way down and they were low to begin with, Remember the Annuity company is investing in VOO and last 20 years got 13% a year, (long term 8.4% since 1801) they pay you 6 and keep the rest, good luck brother :)
