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

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?

Hey Ryan,
I just completed my 1st round of my 1st campaign. I got my addresses from a business associate. He got it from a local real estate company that specializes in that type of data. Nationally, it's like "listsource". Here's a couple of tips that they don't tell you in all of books: 1) put your mailer onto an 8.5/11" sheet of cardstock paper in the form of 4 postcards per sheet. 2) using this size of postcard you can get a cheaper postage rate $0.34 vs. $0.44. 3) figure out how to mail merge and use Avery labels. Best of luck!

 Thanks for the advice Jon. Any leads from your 1st campaign?

Hello, 

I'm moving forward on my 1st direct mail campaign for wholesale leads.

Anyone have advice on how to analyze markets to pull zip codes to target?

I'm looking to work in Oakland and Sacramento, but am unsure on how to analyze and pick good areas. 

Any tips?

PS. If anyone wants to leverage my ad spend, I'm happy to send leads your way in trade for showing me the finer points of closing deals.

Yo David!

Let me know if you ever need any website help, or want an executive assistant for getting things done a little more efficiently.

I have an Online Marketing background, and am looking to help rehabbers out in return for some hands-on experience in the field.

Cheers,

Ryan

Hey guys!

I'm a BP member from the Bay Area.

Looking to leverage my 4+ years of Online Marketing/Lead Generation experience to get some insight on how Wholesaling works.

If any Wholesalers out there- especially those in Northern CA, Bay Area- want to increase their online marketing/lead gen efforts, please drop me a line.

Willing to do work/trade for edu, and hands-on expereince.

The more I can learn about how Wholesaling works, the more I'll be able to help you guys find the right leads.

Cheers,

Ryan
