I don't need to touch my buildings all the time, just like I don't need to touch my stocks or options. :-) I'm interested in any market that can give me a good cashflow.

Mostly NO - If anything commercial is highly favored because the stock market can go up and down where commercial can have fixed leases with annual rent increases.3.

. :) I recommend Roku - dead simple to use and inexpensive.  

Im wondering if anyone is doing some kind of stock market/other form of diversification.

As far as I can calculate it’s a real tough market to find cash flowing properties; the 1% rule is almost all but dead except in the “rough” parts of town.

Something that is exposed to stock market volatility should not be used as your emergency/slush fund.

Depending on how nice your STR is, have you considered a stock tank pool?

Equity is dead money, and is actually what you are paying for a property

The passive income i am currently getting is way more than what i spend and i can still invest 80% of that passive income to dividend stocks and still yield income by doing nothing for next 10 years and still double my portfolio. 

Stock shelves in the grocery store, work at Home Depot or get your own side gig mowing lawns, or fixing something you know how to fix or whatever.
