I invest in real estate. I owned residential rentals for several years, but most of my property is commercial real estate now. Real estate allows leverage so I can borrow against the property and then the rental income pays the note each month, plus a little cash for me. The returns are not as good with crypto, but the revenue is steady. The most important rule in real estate to remember is that you make your money when you buy the property, not when you sell it. Which means, you must buy the property at the right price without overpaying.
