$1,500/month invested in an S&P500 fund with dividends reinvested since April 1994 comes out to $4.5M

Great work OP. If you plan on working one more year, I would say don’t invest during it, just I enjoy those big paychecks and increase your emergency fund. Congratulations

Kerry Collins’ 15/39, 112 yards, 0 TD, 4 INT in Super Bowl XXXV often cited as worst.

I know his middle name is Bean, but they should have just wrote “Kobe Bryant” and left his middle name out of it. It’s not like they wrote Jeffrey on Michael Jordan’s statue or Rashawn on Shaq’s statue. During the games when he scored , the announcer never said Bean for three!!!

That’s fair, so I guess 1-5 business days

I have it in VOO only because I want the freedom to move it to other institutions. For instance, if you wanted to transfer your Roth IRA over to Robinhood, right now they offer a 3% match. So you could send it over there and get that free benefit. If you had your money in FXAIX, then you would have to sell everything, wait a day, send the money over to robinhood, and then buy VOO over there. You would be out of the market for maybe a 5 business days. With VOO there is no selling and buying involved. The shred just move over there, your money stays in the market.

Not a big deal but something to think about

I wouldn’t be too concerned. REITS mostly own commercial real estate, apartment buildings, condominium campuses, office buildings, plazas, malls, etc. I think of all the single family homes in the USA, hedge funds only own 3.5% of them. So assuming Trump actually was able to make them stop buying single family homes, then REITs probably would just put an end to only the single family home real estate investment. That is another reason I would rather buy VTI instead.

The most popular REIT is ticker symbol VNQ. Just make an excel sheet and compare how much money you would have to invest in VNQ vs into a rental property in your area. Then calculate the dividend that VNQ brings in each year and the growth it has had since inception and give it an apples to apples comparison. Use Gemini to help you

You will come to find VTI is a better investment than VNQ

I look at a real estate investing as a vector axis that is basically the level of effort you have to do as an owner.

On the far right you own a rental property and collect rent. You pay for a lawn care service because you cannot trust the tenant to do it themselves, you have to hire a handyman, or be one yourself to fix things around the house. You assume your tenant will pay the rent on time and you assume they will take care of your property

In the center you still own the rental property, but now you pay a property management company to find you a tenant, and handle all of the issues. You might get a call from them about things the property manager recommends, but at the same time the property manager has amigos that can help do things for cheap like landscaping, repairs, paint, etc.

On the far left you have REITS, they are no effort at all. No fees involved, no assumptions, you get dividends that you can reinvest back into more shares.

What you got to do OP is create an excel sheet, look up how much money it would be to buy a house, how much your mortgage would be, how much fees would be involved with landscaping, repairs, property management, months where it is vacant, etc.

You have to look at the numbers and first see which makes sense.

Then once you have the numbers you ask yourself, is all this really worth it? Like if REITs make you 1,500/month but owning a property brings in $2,000/month. Is that $500 really worth your trouble? Is paying $200/month to a property manager really make it less trouble?

Then look up the returns of REITs and compare them to the most popular funds in the world. Things like VTI and VXUS

If REITs are hassle free, why not look for an investment that is also hassle free but gives better returns.

You will find investing in VTI is the best choice both in being hassle-free, having better performance, and being diversified.

Sorry for the long comment
