How would you invest $10k?
I have often heard @Brandon Turner ask guests of the BP podcast how they would invest $100k? As someone who does not have this type of capital to invest yet, I am curious what investors would do with $10,000-$15,000?
Obviously, the answer depends on one's life situation and goals but assume no outstanding debt except for debt service on a few properties. Additionally, assume a full-time job outside of real estate investment.
Thanks in advance for your feedback.

@Sean Grieve Yes, it would depend on the person and their situation. The hardest thing as a real estate investor is to find a niche that works with your personality. (I even wrote a whole book on this specific subject!) Though for me personally, I transitioned from single-family homes to mobile homes. Having less capital to work with on a small deal can definitely be quite profitable on a mobile home investment. Buying mobile homes in general requires less money than your typical single-family home investment. But again, it depends on the person. Hope that helps!
