If you can get great off-market deals on homes from people who have not renovated in 20 years or are in a distressed situation, now is a great time. In most areas there is very little inventory, and (at least in my market) most of what does hit the market is not very updated. People will pay a premium for a fully updated house in a good school district.

Once homes hit the market the price normally becomes too high to make it worth while. Being in the business as a residential broker, I flip homes all the time that I come across but I get these deals because people call me before putting it on the market. I wouldn't have those opportunities had I not been "in the business" and marketing myself.

 

Cash-only under the table weed dispensary business financing. Marijuana is still in a legal grey area even in states where it is legal because it is still illegal on a federal level, so dispensaries often struggle to get simple things like bank loans. I would charge them absurd interest rates and help make peoples' dreams come true.

I think you should invest it in meth. You will be a billionaire in about three years. This is one of the key lessons of the documentary "Breaking Bad".

 

small multifamily in a good location that clearly needs work. get it at a good basis, complete the improvements, and raise rents. 1031 into a larger asset in a couple years, and repeat. that is if trump doesn't kill the 1031.

 

Do a search as this topic has been done countless times. When I made my first pile of cash I did the following:

  • set aside 3-6 month emergency fund to cover living expense

  • paid off all high interest rate debt (eg credit cards)

  • bought real estate (at the top of the market!)

  • diversified across various low cost vanguard index funds

  • set aside x% of my funds to build a long term concentrated equity portfolio (10-15 names)

  • set aside money for my family

Obviously your decisions are affected by your risk tolerance and time horizon.
