Buying and rehabbing used homes can be a gamble - I've placed some that cost as little as $10 - 14k for buying, relocating, rehabbing, renting, etc.

So it's a bit of a gamble in my opinion as opposed to hard money loan,  and you better make sure you have extra good deal.

As long as you don't squander it gambling or getting new cars you would be much better off IMO.

I had no idea what we were doing when we first started, and immersed myself in as many podcasts, books, and trainings as I possibly could.

Personally, I don't like to put my money into something I can't control - yes the stock market has been great, even during COVID, but I would rather put my money into something I can manage (even if not 100% due to moratoriums and zoning risks) versus a stock that I have no control over and is basically a legalized form of gambling. 

If you invest leaning towards appreciation that’s more like gambling in my books.

Anticipation is gambling and hoping for a market correction.
