I would invest. If you think about, you're just asking if you should diversify into real estate. To me, that's a personal thing.

When things go well family and friends tell me that taking care of rental properties is no big deal especially when they use property managers. And then when things don't go well, they complain about this renter not paying or that rental needing repairs. My investments? They don't ever ask me to leave in the middle of a family gathering to take care of an emergency. I can spend a lot of time managing my investments or I can set them to auto contribute.

Some may argue there is greater return on real estate. Some may disagree. I neither disagree nor disagree. I just don't want to be hassled. Taking care of maintenance on my primary home is plenty hassle enough.

Good luck, OP. No wrong decision here. That you have the funds to do either means you're way ahead of the game of life.
