Question
-I have $20000 cash
-My revenues minus my expenses i am left with $300 every month

What kind of real estate investment options i have acces to?

Thank you very much

Answer
Any analysis of potential investment should include an overview of your entire financial situation. If $20K is all you have in reserves, you would normally be best served to invest in something liquid in the event you need the funds for an emergency. But even at that, $20K is probably not enough to invest in commercial real estate (although you could place that money in a REIT). Also, $300/month excess isn't much of a cushion if you were to acquire commercial property.
