OR even less risky is investing in bonds/CDs, etc.

Legislators often leverage future obligations in the form of bonds.

Many of those properties don't actually produce income due to turnovers, vacancy, maintenance and damages and you're lucky if they appreciate enough to keep up with inflation.

Its been a wild ride though doing all this through massive inflation and supply chain issue and Covid..
