I am biased towards real estate. 50k could make a good downpayment on a decent home or even a small 4 plex or similar in the right market. Make sure you have the right property management in places and set it and forget it.

One of the main benefits or real estate is the leverage that it can produce. Just make sure you pick a stable growth city with good long term job stability and do proper due diligence before you buy.

Many people caution against market drops but just like the stock market the value can go up and down. You only lose money if you sell when it is down or are forced out because you can't keep up on the payments. A good stable job market with decently low vacancy can help protect against this.

One benefit is that as the mortgage gets paid down over time you can always refinance as the market allows and pull money out or re-amortize over a longer term to increase cashflow depending on how your tax situation and cash needs look at the time.
