Here are the top five stories today in Orlando:

1. The Legal Aid Society of Orange County is a free service for those who can't afford a traditional attorney. It helps residents with everything from family law to housing issues for people at 125% of federal poverty guidelines and below. Housing took on a whole new meaning as COVID-19 left several families trapped. (WESH)

2. A new affordable housing community in Sanford is helping residents in the historic Goldsboro neighborhood. The new complex is the first large-scale development in the area in more than 20 years. (Click Orlando)

3. Opening statements began on Thursday morning in the trial of a Winter Park woman accused of stabbing her husband to death. Danielle Redlick is charged with second-degree murder and evidence tampering in the stabbing death of her husband, 65-year-old Michael Redlick. (WESH)

4. A patient at Orlando Regional Medical Center smashed open a window in his hospital room on May 16 and jumped to his death. Witnesses told police the patient either sat or stood in the window after breaking the glass for several minutes before he jumped to his death. (WFTV)

5. Orlando Pride shared last week that it placed coach Amanda Cromwell and first assistant coach, Sam Greene, on temporary leave. The incident that led to the two being put on leave was not shared by the team. (Bungalower)

Are you an Orlando resident looking for an investment alternative to the stock market?

Bloomberg recently asked experts where they'd invest $100,000 right now, and many of them had the same answer: fine art.

Thinking you can't afford a Picasso? Well in 2012, Congress passed the JOBS Act, which allowed for the securitization of artwork. A company called Masterworks.io built the largest platform for buying and selling art securities. In the past, you could only buy shares of companies like Apple, but with this investing app, you can unlock this powerful investment.

Meaning, you can invest in shares of million-dollar artwork. And in uncertain times, it turns out, fine art may be a wise investment. Here's why:

• Low correlation to stocks according to Citi
• Contemporary art historically returns 23.2% when inflation is >3%
• Contemporary art prices outpaced the S&P 500 by 164% (1995-2021)

To learn more, visit Masterworks.io, where Orlando Daily readers can skip the waitlist.
