Is it worth getting into real estate to build more wealth or just stick to stocks?

I am 25 with currently 200k in the stock market spilt between a Roth IRA, TSP and taxable accounts. For a long time I’ve had an interest into getting into a real estate to build consistent cash flow, also live for free or very cheaply by doing a house hack to start off with.

Some additional info about me I am an American veteran that has access to the VA loan ( zero down payment on a house) and I get roughly $2500 a month in tax free compensation. My ultimate goal is to move abroad and live a chill life. I am not mechanically inclined and have zero idea how to do house maintenance. I’m single with no kids.
