I have $25,000 cash and I’m looking to invest my money into an activity that could eventually become a “business” and replace part, if not all, of my annual income. I’m considering either swingtrading stocks or flipping houses. Which should I chose?

SWING TRADING

Pros:
I can get started right away bc I have some money already saved.
I don’t have to monitor my positions 24/7 because I will be holding positions from 3-10 days.
Easier to swing trade while holding down a full time job.

Cons:
1) To make substantial profits, I would need more than 25k.
2) Huge learning curve even though I have studied the subject for over a year.

HOUSE FLIPPING
Pros:
It’s a buyers market!
Not as risky as swing trading stocks.
Even if I can’t flip a property, I can rent it out and build equity.

Cons:
I would have to wait another year to get started so I could save capital for improvements.
Not as easy to do with a full time job bc I would need to be on the jobsite
