I'm going to inherit $200K. How can I invest it?

[Felipe Burga]

Hi,

I'm about to inherit around $200k. How can I invest this money in real estate? Specially with complicated the market is at this time. I have been trying to simulate different scenarios by buying property with 20% down and none of them show a positive or not even close to be breakeven.

I'm willing to invest in different states but all this is new to me and it's complicated.

Thank you.

Please put it in a Cd and earn $1,000/mo while you study and learn. 

I honestly believe you have zero chance of making $1,000/mo in real estate as a beginner based in California.
