Good question but not specific enough to have only one answer. Unfortunately, RE Investment, is not only about buying a stock, REIT. In order to provide the best possible answer. Ask yourself what % do you want to get? Many crowdfunding in RE Investment allows you to get a Higher return but your money is stack in the project for a longer period. Compare to REIT you can buy and sell it at anytime but the price of the stock will fluctuate. As for the amount of 2k, I would invest this money to my own education and skill, which allows me to generate more and then invest in RE.
