How should I invest my money?
Okay, so I built a brand new home in 2013. Before I even broke ground my home was appraised at $161,000 on paper. I made some major modifications and some huge upgrades to my blueprint. I now have a new metal building with a driveway and a beautiful sidewalk.
Since I am very familiar with appraisals and because I went to real estate appraisal school several years ago, I know my home is valued at around $200,000 to maybe $220,000 because of the comps in my area selling for that much and some even more.
Now that I am in the process of making my home move and putting it on the market, instead of me taking my profit money and building bigger and better I want to invest in real estate. Either in flipping, wholesaling, rent to own, etc. I am a total newbie and amateur and never have done anything like this so I want to invest my money wisely and make residual income. I owe $127,000 to my house now.
What would you do? Of course, I am going to take some of my money and live in an RV for a timely season until I find somewhere I truly want to dwell.
Thanks
Brian
