Deploy $40k into real estate in the current rate environment

Long-term — 3+ years
Context

I have $40k sitting in savings and I keep looking at rental properties. Rates are still elevated and the market hasn't really corrected. I've been sitting on the money for a while and starting to feel like I should do something with it.

Goal

Understand whether now is actually the right time structurally, or if I'm just getting impatient watching cash sit idle.
