There are lots of note buyers, hard money lenders, etc that could help you out if all you are looking to do is build a passive income stream and grow your retirement with double digit returns.

I have made a lot of money editing movies and TV shows, so I did put it to good use!

It might be in your best interest to beef that one up or do another one and build a digital portfolio.In addition to that you can take your capital and invest as a passive Limited Partner in big commercial multifamily deals (the only ones that are safe) Kind of like what Grant Cardone is doing but there are plenty of other one's like FundRise or your local real estate investor.

Downside of that is you're exposed to the volatility of the stock market.The next thing I'm going to research are syndicated commercial deals, it seems like with the right network of sponsors it should be feasible to achieve double digit returns in a completely passive way.If/when there will be a market correction, I will be looking into buying SFR in my backyard (Northern CA) so I can assemble my team through BP references and always be within driving distance in case something happens and I have to manage my own investment.

In this digital age it's really difficult to know who actually is good at a thing vs who is really good at marketing themself for that thing, it's true.

Edit: Personally, I think Muncie/Yorktown near Ball State is one of the most undervalued areas in the state.

In 2008 when markets like Phoenix, Atlanta, Las Vegas and others were losing 40%-50% of their values, Midwest markets lost only single digits in value.
