There exist a wide spectrum of i potential investments out there.  

Some other RE options include notes, syndication, NNN, REIT, a wide variety of commercial non residential (Mobile home parks (residential, but not traditional residential), industrial, storage units, retail space, office space), development, land speculation, mineral rights (My first home run was in mineral rights), etc.
