Best way to invest $100k

[Michael A.]

What would be the best way to invest $100k and achieve financial freedom. If you had $100k what would you do with it? How could you scale $100k to making $10k per month in passive income? Looking to hear about different strategies.

Based on your post you are looking for a 120% return annuity ($120,000/year) in 5 years through a passive income source (note: there is nothing that is truly passive you will have to put time and energy into any investment in some way). 

First off, I would pray. Pray long and hard for that hope that you can find such a steal of a deal that you're able to make consistent 6 figure incomes out of $100k in 5 years. I'm not saying it is impossible it is just very rare and/or very risk - crypto, startup funding, day trading, etc. 

On the other hand, if you were to tell me that you'd reinvest the profits made from the $100k, then you'd have a better chance. I personally would try to use the BRRRR on a very undervalued property. Then refinance with the hope of upsizing to something that appreciates and cash flows enough to be able to give me the return you are looking for - still not very passive.

This is a very birds-eye view scenario. I would say if you wanted to make the most wealth then prioritize investing in yourself above all else (and don't expect it to be passive). Investing in building knowledge, your health, and your dreams will be the root of all your other accomplishments. 

Hope this helps
