Too many amateurs are screwing things up for everyone. 

Note that I’m just an amateur, but thought I would share that information, you can keep or toss it.  

To me sounds like something an amateur would do who is trying to save a few dollars hiring the cheapest vendor option out there.

The amateurs....too many around that made money in 2019 in 1-2-3 syndication deals and now thing they are ready for the big leagues.   

The amateurs are the ones selling. 

Since we are total amateurs, we don't which way is better (either get a property for short term or invest that extra cash .Any help will be appreciated!

I'm a real estate guy so take my advice with a grain of salt.Still, here is my simple thought process and maybe you agree:Stocks go to $#@% first, then the economy, and lastly real estate.There are opportunities like this only once every 10 years or so where amateurs like you and me can do really well investing in stocks no matter what stocks we pick (As long as they are big conglomerates in the S&P 500).Diversify between 10-20 companies and hold for 12-24 months, if not longer.Sell and gain 50-100% on your invested capital.Invest in real estate (Buy and hold properties).Here is a chart of every 20% decline we have had in the last 100 years and the returns within the first 12 months when the market does finally take off and go bull.It is my belief that you can grow your wealth much quicker in this current climate by investing in stocks.However, as I mentioned above please take this blog with a grain of salt because I usually am the dumbest guy in the room and don't claim to be any smarter today then I was 12 years ago.

CoC ROI of a minimum of 20% ... high demand areas to achieve 90%+ occupancy ... something unique about the specific property (location, size, views, etc) ... appropriate regulation with no near term changes for seen. ... potential to value add The best purchases I’ve made are from amateurs trying to self manage and getting their butts kicked...

Amateur Vision would be a more appropriate name for these bunch of clowns.

BTW, your post about single family vs. multi-family is as amateur as it gets.
