but you already have Roth IRA maxed out, some money in mutual funds, and a retirement account with your employer.

Where do you invest?

Land? High interest CD?

You also want to keep 1/3 of the money fairly liquid...what then?

highest yield CD's I can find right now are 1%. That doesn't seem high enough.

Emerging markets and oil ETF's, and then ride it out. That's what I'd do.

It depends on how you buy real estate.

Also, real estate investors often ignore the time it takes to get that return.

Baron

Well then what do you say about getting into REIT's for real estate.

A good way to diversify. But it shouldn't be the bulk of your market investment.

REITs are more like investing in stocks
