Where do I put my money?

I have been saving some pennies for about 10 years. I'm torn between the options I have.

Which one of the following is the best option:

1) Buy a home and use the $ for down payment.
2) Invest in stocks
3) Put it in a long term savings account
4) Buy Mutual funds
5) Increase my 401k limit
6) Invest in the inflated Bitcoin >.

 

If choosing RE, I second this assuming your personal life supports this strategy. You can buy up to 4 units for 3.5% down FHA and can move to a new residence after 2 years. Aside from very rare opportunities, this is the only mechanism that will allow you to purchase income producing real estate for less than 20-25% down.

If you simply want a SFH to meet your life needs, then sure...the value will appreciate over time but you should be mindful of where we are in the cycle. From an investment standpoint there are more attractive options than a SFH purchase but that does not necessarily mean it isn't a good option for you.

 

Dr. Nick, is that you?

The only difference between Asset Management and Investment Research is assets. I generally see somebody I know on TV on Bloomberg/CNBC etc. once or twice a week. This sounds cool, until I remind myself that I see somebody I know on ESPN five days a week.

Buy a home in the east coast in a growing city. Not in satuarated markets I saw someone post about buying a multi fam unit and livning in one and renting the rest. This is a good plan to autopay your morgage and you don't have to pay for rent

Max out your 401k.. duh

Mutual funds are pretty safe.
