Hey Grant, 200K is more than enough to both get started in real estate AND have a substantial income with stocks and options. Maybe you and Ron can discuss how he is doing it, but also you can check out BetterTrades. I retired within about 3 months with only 30k to start. (at 35)

I agree that real estate is a good investment; I've owned a few properties and that is actually where I got my investment seed money. But, what I have learned about stocks and options actually retired me. Last year I was doing great earning 10-20% per month. This year, I've gotten to the point that I can earn that in a day (not exaggerating) and repeat that 3-4 times per week.

It did take me most of a year to get to this point, though, so give yourself plenty of time and practice A LOT! Check out their website - there are tons of FREE classes that can teach you a lot if you supplement it with books on options and such. Feel free to contact me if you want to discuss further.

FYI - I am not associated with any mutual fund or training website. I am just a practiced trader that missed out on a lot of opportunity before I learned the facts and now I want to spread the knowledge.

Hello Grant!

Since you haven't been doing too much on Y! A, what have you been doing?

I'm disabled, too.

I trade stocks and options AND have been over 2 years.

Our family is in the real estate business. Dad is 87 and STILL working as a real estate broker.
Not because he has to, because he WANTS to.

One of my three brothers is a licensed real estate appraiser.

I do the management end of the biz. There's not much to do these days. We have great residents [tenants], who properly take care of the properties and pay the rents on-time and ahead-of-time.

I do volunteer work at a rehab hospital.

If you have any Qs, send me an e-mail, I'll do my best to answer it as soon as I can.

I just wanted to let you know there are folks out here in the same boat you're in. We're productive and active. I'm out here.

Thanks for asking your Q. I enjoyed letting you know what's going on in this part of the world.

VTY,
Ron Berue
Yes, that is my real last name!

If I were in your position, I'd either build a house new (way cheaper) or I'd buy a run down house that is easily fixable and put money into it. I think people tell you to invest in a house because then you'll always have somewhere to live. I'd spend about 100 000 on a house and save the rest to invest and go to school for something you know you can do and something you will enjoy. Either way, spend it wisely because when it's gone, it's gone. Good luck.

real estate would be nice. I however would put it in the bank and let it accumilate interest. thats if you dont need to pay anything (since you live with your parents)

I would be very conservative with such a large amount of money.

Real Estate can be a great investment now, if you pay cash. However, I have been a landlord before, and I absolutely hated it.

Your first option should be to fund fully a retirement account.

If you have done this, or you wish to wait on the retirement fund, then one of the best things you can do is open a DRIP Plan.

They are seldom talked about because brokers make very little money when they suggest them. Yet, they have proven to be one of the best, if not the best, long-term strategy on Wall Street.

The best part is you get solid annual returns from well-known, safe Blue Chip companies like: McDonalds, General Electric, Pfizer, Walmart, US Bancorp.......etc........

They are inexpensive to start and maintain, and your dividends are reinvested for free.

They are perfect for small investors, as well as big investors. They are safe and allow you to not care about whether the market is going up or down.

Hmmm. Not enough to live off of. Well, put it in broad-based stock index funds. Both domestic and international. And then --- here's the hard part --- FORGET ABOUT IT. Just glance at the statements for a second and file them. If you think about them, you will either want to spend, or reallocate. Both will probably turn out to be bad ideas. Good luck.

First off, take a little piece of that and start an IRA (if you haven't already). You have until April 15th for your 2007 contribution, which is $4,000 max. Then 2008 allows $5000. Best to put that in a low cost broad based mutual fund (like Vanguard). If it's a Roth (and you qualify for it) then whatever it makes isn't taxed while it grows.

For the $191,000 left?

Get some of it in a good ol' brick & mortar bank with FDIC backing (perhaps 6 months worth to live on, more if you relocate to a place w/ few jobs).

The rest? Perhaps some mutual funds outside your IRA. Be VERY careful of real estate. Do your homework. Don't buy any property w/o hiring an inspector to look it over. Consider the costs, not just of fixing up something, but taxes, insurance, maintenance. Is it in a market that there's employment? There are people who are saying that real estate isn't the investment that it used to be.

Investing in real estate is the best way to wealth and financial freedom. Anyone telling you otherwise is either a fool or a liar. Just ask any wealthy person, Donald Trump for instance.
Of all wealthy people in the US, over 35% of their investments is in real estate.
You do need to know what you are doing.
I can help. No joke, no strings attached.
