Investing $100k liquid?

For real. If you're worried about diversification, just put it in an index fund with a tiny expense ratio like VOO and let it grow.
Just presenting options, breh. REITs historically provide a 4% dividend yield if you want safe exposure to real estate without actually dealing with all of the pitfalls that come from building ownership.
All about how much you want to work for your money and your risk tolerance for this particular $100k. Certainly you should feel free to actually invest in real estate properties if you don't mind getting your hands dirty. More volatile but more lucrative.
Avoid ICF (speaking from experience
). Doesn't perform well relative to the sector and has a shytty dividend. I'm personally a big fan of all SPDR funds, which start with XL, so XLRE is interesting. I'm a shareholder.The prevailing wisdom dictates that large exposure to retail space is a bad investment, but I don't see it that way. Yes, malls are becoming ghost towns especially as benchmark stores like JC Penney go under, but there is no way that a huge company doesn't snatch that shyt up. I see no reason why, for example, Amazon wouldn't purchase an entire mall and turn it into an Amazon Go or a production facility. That space WILL appreciate in value in the long term.
Supposedly there are some funds that heavily invest in data centers, server buildings, and whatnot as the demand for work-from-home rises. A couple mid/high-market-cap examples are QTS and EQIX. I don't really know enough about that space to give you any worthwhile suggestions.
However, the fund I mentioned previously and do already own shares in, XLRE, actually has EQIX as one of its holdings so for me that yields sufficient exposure to that sector.
Of course do your own due diligence. Keep that money up breh
