50k to invest...

[Nicholas Lee]

I am a 19 year old college student ready invest money in the real-estate market. I currently have 50k to invest and am looking for advice on how to quickly yield a profit. Any and all help is appreciated.

Real estate has created more millionaires than anything else in American history.  To build real long term wealth and achieve financial freedom, what you need are cash flow investments.  Eveny other strategy from flips, to notes, to wholesale, only creat chunks of cash, they are not sustainable   Buy and hold rentals are not sexy, but they will produce cash as long as you are alive.  I would suggest that you use your 50k to buy as many cash flowing properties as you can.  If you learn to negotiate owner financing, you can turn that pile of cash into all you will ever need.  

Be patient, and pick good deals.   Look for high rates of return.  Once you cash is back in your pocket then you can buy other property.  Now here is the rub. As a general rule, the worse the neighborhood, the better the cash flow.  so you need to determine your idiot tolerance and then go shopping. 

 There is risk in all investment.  The more leveraged you are the more vulnerable you are to market collapse like in 2008.  Conversley, leverage will allow you expand rapidly.  The risk tolerance is your personal decision and nobody can decide that for you.

To your success
