You mentioned that stability is what you crave so you could do the house hack of buy hold live and keep repeating that process over and over again, but I do not think you would find that very stable for you or for your son and that regard you right to think about having that stability locked away in a bank, but do not be afraid to risk a little of that capital to start just figure out what your comfort level is and work from there, and of course do not be afraid to reach out.
