125K to spend. How would you?

[Porter Tarvin]

If you had 125k to spend in anyway possible for investing, how would you? The goal of your investing would not be to cash out quickly but to start a long term semi low risk investment. You have 125k in cash ready to go, what do you do?

Hi Porter,

I have fallen into this trap " A fool and his money soon part ways", eloquently stated by George S Clason.  Or as Leonard Lauder stated "When a person with experience meets a person with money, the person with experience will get the money. And the person with the money will get some experience."

Before you can think about investments, try to think about what your goals are.  Do you want to create wealth? DO you need monthly income?  What does semi low risk entail?  That means a lot of different things to people

I am in the wealth creation mode, so my strategy has been to purchase undervalued multifamily properties, force their appreciation, refinance the property to extract money, and repeat the process.  I think my strategy is lower risk because I am buying an asset based on actual numbers and creating value. 

125,000 is a nice sum of money to commence your investing in multifamily properties.  Pick a niche, study it and jump in.

Good Luck

Gino
