$10million from $10k. How would you do it?

100 million from 10k. How would you do it?

Start a RE Fund? VC? other? If you could go back to your 20s and take a direct path, how would it be done?

I know this is vague, but I am curious how some of you vets would change how you did it, or how you already did it?

 

Is $10k enough to start a RE fund? If you started a VC fund you'd have to raise significantly more obviously, and the $10k might not even cover startup legal fees for either.

Turning $10k into a fortune is done by people starting their own something. If the hypothetical is literally turning $10k into something more you need to think about it in terms of, "How do I turn this $10k into $15k? How do I turn that into $20k? That into $40k? And so on. Vague - I know. But an inch a day turns into miles over time.

There's a million ways to skin a cat. If you want a career in RE/VC then pursue that, you can definitely make millions. But as M1 said you don't make that kind of $ working for someone else.
