Buy some property in a good neighborhood and rent it out. You can get property management companies to do all the work for you. Easy way to generate wealth over time just by renting. Not even factoring selling the house for money.

After watching a lot of Renting TV programmes in the UK, totally put me off the idea of buying and renting out, its such a nightmare, not sure if you have better systems in the USA though.

I am asumming it is the tennants you are worried about. You have to buy a good house in a good neighborhood. So you can attract responsible people and not terrible tennants. Also, you can get a property management company to handle all the stress work for you. They will take a percentage, but you will avoid a lot of headaches.
