No offense to Rich of course, or to the person with the 50K, or to sdduuuuude, but is that amount of money worth going to a financial advisor over? Does a financial advisor want to see someone with that amount and no other assets to talk about?Maybe I missed it and the OP said they have other investment concerns?

If I was about to buy a place in the next few years,which seems like perfect timing, I would use the 50k to try to slide into two or three lower priced places over a few years and become a landlord.
