@Ben Bartels I started with similar situation - so let me share my story -  I wanted to ride on both horses :-)I put in 50k for down payments on 2 properties in REI and I put 50k in Stocks (self manage Robinhood) - (100k seed money) when I started few years ago - both are doing good - REI is little slow but steady, I thought Stocks would fail or lose to get me returns in 2020 but to my surprise Stocks beat REI hands down in December 2020 and I cashed out at right time.
