But our beach places offer families space (not having multiple hotel rooms), fully stocked kitchen, beach supplies, etc.

Either leverage an existing asset (stock portfolio, for example, if you have one) or leverage a relationship (like partnering with someone). 

Do you turn over to PM or do it yourself and how do you simplify things as you move forward.Also trading real estate for stocks is not just a way to diversify. 

I think 25k to furnish, stage and stock with essentials (linens, towels, kitchen, etc.)

They said there're lot of layoffs, but all stocks are at all time high. lolIt's dystopian world.

agree over the long term real estate should outperform stocks.

I love helping people and truly do enjoy my job, but I am already at a young age topped out for compensation and in this field with insurance reimbursement structure the way it is, I am likely to not move up much at all in the future unfortunately.I have always loved personal finance and after accruing ungodly amounts of student loans and navigating paying them off all while efficiently investing in the stock market as well as now real estate I have not only realized how strong my interests are in this area but also my personal skills align in financial planning and personal finance.

I have a decent 401k that I do not want to leave in the stock market.

My question is whether it makes more sense to put 10% down so that I can have more liquid cash to use for stocks/bonds/HYSA or if it would be better to put 20% down to get more cash flow/lower mortgage.

; c) invest in passive multi-family REIT type situation; d) stocks (or take a chunk of the $200K at least); e) some crypto I'll report back when my books get cleaned up for more clarity.
