Here's the question you need to answer.
Do you think by investing it you can get a return that exceeds the interest rate on a mortgage?
If you can get a mortgage at 6% and a return of 9%, you're ahead by taking the loan and investing. Any appreciation of the real estate only sweetens the result. |

Dude, four days ago you said in another question "im starting off with about 20 to 30 thousand dollars"
Are you schizo or just lying? Did you not think we could look up your questions from earlier this week? |

I have one question for you - if you claim you earned all that money by saving and investing , how can you make a stupid statement like you would want to put the whole amount into one house?
Why would you ever want to put all your money in one asset class, ie. real estate? Diversification is the key word. Put 20% down and find other avenues to invest the balance.
Personally, if I was in your place , I would not by a million dollar house at the age of 28, even if I have all the money simply because I would not want so much debt on my head. I would buy something cheaper right now and maybe something more expensive down the line sometime. |

As you are no doubt learning, this really isn't a good place to ask those kinds of questions.
Seriously, you want some anonymous stranger to tell you what to do with $500 to 900 grand?
You have got to be kidding or out of your mind. |

Next question what is your annual income? Was this a windfall? I am going to assume that the 500k is a windfall and you make about 50k a year. If so, go look for a modest house and forget the palace. Now is a good time to buy a house with the depressed pricing. Bad time to get a lot of payback in a falling housing market. Look for a reasonable house in the 150k range and put about 1/3 to 1/2 down.
Then take the rest and invest it in some sort of mutual fund family like Vanguard or Fidelity. Spread it out and diversify and get some bonds, some S & P 500 index and some large cap funds. Then, if you haven't get a degree and complete your education. Take some investing classes as an option.
The reasons I made the above assumption is that if you earned the money above you would have an education and degree and would know folks that could help you without coming here. |

If you have to ask that question with that kind of money then you don't need the money.
Give it to the poor. |

Buy an excellent property for, say 6 or 7 hundred thousand. When the recession ends and prices climb again, you'll make another 100 thou tax free. Don't risk the stock market. You'll get killed. Half your stocks will go up, half will go down. You'll be better off buying something you can use. That's real wealth. |

aww bless ya. ok i'll give you a serious answer i thought you were messing actually still think you are.
Ok spending all off that money at once espically on a house with the way the market is at the moment is crazy, Is this your only money or do you have a regular income as well? why not buy a house thats a little bit cheaper and then look for a low to mediun risk investment. Or you could just find a really good interest rate with a bank lodge the whole lot and then think seriously about what you want to do with it.
I'm really curious where did you get this money in the first place??? |
