I was thinking maybe putting the money in a 50/50 stock/bonds account.

Promising returns from actual real estate investments, Baccala instead invested the funds in the stock market.

He wants a piece of property that diversifies his risk from the stock market, and I'd like a place I can move into.

You can't do that with stocks or other investments.

I work closely with all kinds of investors as my company provides self-directed retirement plans enabling our clients diversify out of the stock market and invest into non-traditional assets.

I'm currently 95/5% stock and bonds and trying to move to 90/10% eventually.

I don't want to be over leveraged, worried about the unit sitting empty, market drops etc, and it is still a better ROI to put that cash into a good rental property than have it invested in the stock market or sitting in the bank.

I haev thought about buying an investment in a SDIRA but I self manage and like to do everuything myself so I think this would create complications.It's good IMp to be well diversified own Real Estate as well as Blue chip stocks that pay a nice dividend,, bonds and other securities that give you a nice return.best regards,Chris
