We have cash, Now what!?

[Konrad Lightner]

Hi Everyone!

The company my wife works for vested some stocks that she received and we have a chunk of change now that we want to invest.  

My question is how would you all take advantage of this opportunity and what would be your strategy to invest as much of the money without losing it to things like taxes.

everyone will have a very different opinion! We live I'm central California and live investing here! While we don't have nearly your spare change, we have been taking our 60k+ annually and investing it locally and out of state! I have started trying to invest it locally as much as possible. I love the fact that this area has low taxes and instance is appreciating and I can spend $150-230k and get class a properties.

We are investing for the long term so the cash flow isn't need now but for when we want to find early retirement in 14 years!

So it really comes down to you goals, business plans and where you see yourself.
