Getting In and Where To Go?

Smart people on here so would like an opinion.
My wife and I have been blessed and put ourselves in a good position. Have some savings sitting in a savings account earning 5% but I have the itch to enter into something broad and try to earn double that amount. Is this smart or just greed?
Wife and I are 46 with 4 daughters. My mom lives with us. Dream home paid off (built in 18). First home paid off and rented and additional rent house that is paid off. Bought third rental about a year ago that is financed but rent covers payment. Own half of a lake home that is paid off. Our imaginary money in 401 and Roths just crossed 1 mil.
Have a Schwab account (some play money in the playfull company SLI) so I have been looking at SCHG as a possibility. Thoughts on nice broad/conservative options?
Also if I take the leap, lump sum DCA or hybrid?
Thanks for you time.

Your wife disagrees.

You have a million at invested at 46 plus real estate. Just buy SCHB or the equivalent and call it a life.
It does t sound like you have the stomach or the need to go crazy with individual names.

Put some money in a Roth if income allows. A nice broad/conservative option is the s&p500. You might also research Berkshire Hathaway. Both are great buy and hold choices.

Buy AMD and tell all your country club friends so I can get my money back 
Kidding.. On a serious note, S&P’s the choice for me.

It seems that you are already successful doing what you are doing. If you are good at what you are doing (rentals), why not just do more of that?
