i have 200k and I want to put them to work

[Calin Crisan]

Hi all,

I have 200k in cash and I want to put them to work for me. Both my wife and I are working full time, making decent money, and we want to find an investment(s) to generate some decent risk adjusted returns. What do we want from our investments:

1) Be silent partners or require minimum time spent (few hours per week in weekends)

2) Generate a return higher than 10%

3) Don't have any preferences for investment types as long as 1) and 2) are met

4) We live in one of the most expensive real-estate markets in the country, so $200k doesn't buy that much in here (to give you an idea, our 4 bdrm 3 baths is like $850)

Thanks for your advice
