200k cash, how would you invest it?

I would buy some of these short sales or foreclosures. Check the areas do your due diligance and you would have a great investment.

but didn't want to get into any trouble. Of course it is a loaded question

$150,000 to buy $3,000,000 worth of Good Debt.

I talk to small banks locally and have communicated with one that offers 5% DP for in house loan Down Payment Minimum with 6-7% Interest rate for 30 Years. I would make sure that at a minimum the property would have 35% ROI after, Mortgage, Taxes, Insurance, Management fee, Vacancy, Unique property costs, and $25 monthly maintenance reserves per unit had been accounted for.

$50,000 would go towards true money Reserves in the form of Silver.

Tax Lien/Deeds are a good one too.

Just be sure you study, study, study how to do them first! And for heaven's sake do your DUE DILIGENCE!

I'd buy a couple cases of vinetage Merlot, ( good stuff) and think what I want to invest in after the first case is gone...Jan

I think we should all come over and help you figure that one out!

Karen

Open an LLC, use some of the $ to buy a multi unit property to create positive cash flow; then sit back and enjoy a nice glass of Merlot- invite Jan

I would invest with Dean himself. Matt L. Randy428. Indiana Joe. I would also use the education I have received from the academy to invest in more fixers in Indiana.

Bottom line is to invest in more real estate.

If you don't know too much about RE investing, you could become a private money lender for another investor in your state and make some NICE returns (checkout www.InvestmentsbackedbyRealEstate.com for my free report on this. Or, you could invest in rehabs and fix and fli, or buy and hold and rent them out. I wish I was in your predicament.

I'd do some quick rehab's, make a couple bucks. Then get some rentals unde your belt with as little down as possible and turn that 200k into 1 million!

The party's at Jan's house.....what time should we be there?

After 7pm, there are always plenty of glasses. Jeremy knows....Jan

Tammy's route is good. Short term HML offers the opportunity to make 6% or more on your money every months or so. Not too shabby, I'm thinkin'

Not a wine drinker, Jan. I prefer ale.

peace,

and definitely come to the EDGE and then you can treat everyone to drinks if you're feeling generous!

I'm thinkin maybe take everyone to the Edge

I don't mean that too seriously, but if you have 200k at your disposal you should have a pretty easy time getting a loc from a bank. Use their money and keep creating more. Use your cash as collatoral. OPM all the way!

Use that money to get more money and rehab like crazy.

It's been 20 days since you posted this question,with all kinds of great suggestions so if you still need help investing PM me or anyone of the others and get some more ideals.

I just learned of an amazing tool! If I had 200K RIGHT NOW, I would take that money and get me some 144a bonds listed on Euro Clear. You can get $1B (BILLION) in 144a bonds for that money, which you can use as collateral to purchase very large projects, bulk REO tapes, hotels, apartment buildings, YOU NAME it, so long as its profitable, you can expand your wealth. If you use them as collateral, by 10 years the bonds mature and pay off the investment you placed them in and you own it outright, so long as you always made your loan payments on the investment loan. If you analyze your investments thoroughly and do your due diligence, this will make you a multi millionaire. You can also sell the bonds and put a note against them, or sell your project off, take the proceeds and then reuse the bonds as collateral. They are all backed by A grade or better insurance companies, so if you don't make your payments, your investor or bank gets paid their money, so YOU get better terms on your loans.

I have a contact who can explain it all to you and set it up for you. THIS is one of the ways the Donald and so many other multi millionaires do it! PM me for a contact who does this; now I haven't used them because I don't have $200K, but they will certainly get you the information you need.

Tammy one still has to be very careful when investing in bonds, no matter what Insurance co. is backing them,remember what happened a few years ago.
