Your best bet would be (1) - public REITs.Why does (5) have to be riskier asset classes like high yield bonds, leveraged products or inverse ETFs?

Anyone in this space, i would love to learn what you know or atleast love to speak on this space with you as I know it’s best to speak with someone actively doing it.

Some charge me yearly others are 3, 5 or 10 years but I can’t think of a scenario this would work me unless I inherited a $500k IRA or really wanted to manage all these accounts & fees & IRS contribution & withdrawal rules or I took on a large gamble investment for a 30 to 100% return & got into active market again like flipping houses, etc.I guess I would rather pay the IRS less than a company like Quest IRA?

We also have two houses under contract and are actively seeking two more.

What attracted me to BP was the network of people who actively participate in the forums and wanted to connect with like-minded individuals.

If one of you is active military ask your JAG officer.

If you never owned one, then your best bet is to find a deal and to bring it to someone experienced to partner up with  so that you can learn from them.

Here are other stats from HAR's report: In June 2018, there were 40,198 active listings in the area, down 3.9 percent over the year.
