Same boat... I have been here for a few years now... tried rentals... too much stress... tried peer to peer lending... in 3 years my Avg rate of return is 5.4% year over year.. beats a CD or a bank account but I keep looking at some of my holdings saying if I has put that peer to peer money in that one investment 3 years ago I would be way up...

So you learn.. you try things and you diversify..

I'll be researching it and will share if I find some ideas.

"The money is made when the market is most pessimistic."

I don't recall where I saw this, but I think it holds the key.
