How would you invest 100k??

[Kory Denny]

You need to invest 100k. Lets just say all things aside you have a measly 100k to invest in real estate right away. Without starting a business in your opinion what series of investments would generate the best return with average market risk. 

I do have a plan already but I would love to hear other intuitive answers as well. Thank you!

Go to your local tax office. Look at list of upcoming foreclosures. Check out the houses. Do some due diligence. See if any of them can be bought cheap, and figure out rehab costs. Run some numbers. Find out the ARV. See if there is a profit margin, and how much equity the house could have after repairs. Determine if you could either A) flip the property and profit, or B) rehab and refinance to repeat above steps (BRRR strategy). Purchase house. See if you can secure private money or hard money for rehab. If not, use the capital. You can sometimes build equity if making the right deal. Keep remainder of $100K for future purchases. Some of these houses in certain areas can be bought for a substantially good price from tax liens. Make some money, or set yourself up for some passive income. Rinse. Wash. Repeat.

I have successfully done this four times, and I had a LOT LESS THAN $100K when I got started. It is risky, but if you do your homework and find the right deals, you will receive a significant amount of leverage which you can use for future endeavors. Just don't get burned! 

Also, using money as a downpayment on multis is never bad, as long as the money is being made on the purchase. 

Either way, by having $100K, you have a lot of options! It all just depends on what you want. 

Happy investing!!
