$100,000- Where to keep it/ How to Invest it?

[Ryan Zweng]

If my goal is to leverage $100,000 in investment capital, and obtaining buy and hold investments is my long term Real Estate Investment goal for the initial 100k in capital , my questions are:

1) Where is the best place to hold onto the money?

- money market fund, bank account, IRA, cash value life insurance policy?

2) Better to use the lump sum to fund a larger investment, or split it up to fund smaller flips, or rehab jobs in order to build more capital?
