Okay...in a more serious response.

Do you already own your own principal residence?
What do you want this to do generate an income, or grow to a maximized amount.

I have a big chunk of cash on hand that I wish I'd put into stocks last March....But I also don't own any real estate right now. I'm not sure what to do either. Invest in real estate....put it into stocks, but what type.

I can see why some feel another real estate bubble is forming especially where I live, no one here has a job that pays anything...the only people who can afford their houses are growing pot in the basement or are retired and had the money. But there are other places where real estate maybe wouldn't be a bad idea.

Hence I'm leaning towards equities of some type...even though the last decade doing that has basically ruined my freakin life and doomed me to work unitl I'm 80!
