    If someone were to give you 5 million and told you to invest in a business, product, or property (real estate or mechanical) to sell for profit in a year, what would you buy?


    To keep it interesting, lets leave stocks/bonds/mutual funds/ FR annuities out of it. I hear about those too much on a daily basis from people trying to "get in" on stuff.

    All 5 on one property? No clue. Overall I'd probably go real estate, I think there's some profit to be made in the right hood doing some basic flipping. A single business or product I'd have no clue. Other than WERA of course :D

    Kinda short time frame, but I'll play.

    2 options in real estate.

    Whatever 5mil would get me in s Texas in eagle ford shale.

    Whatever 5mil would get me close to inner austin.

    Or invest in a start up manufacturing/ machining business for oil and gas.

    Tough question...if an existing business/property/product, what kind of shape is it in going in?
    I'll just call it safe and say cars with horses and bulls in their logo.

    The Austin market is too saturated (I bought a few pieces recently, i know i wont make shit).
    I dont think 5 mill will get you even in the door with eagle ford (i already tried. :D)

    the third is a good option!

    Customer has his house listed for $6.5 million, I'd give him the $5 million, rent out the house for a year $250,000, then list it for $6 million.

    I'd invest in lower-income multi-unit housing 200 units or less, and distressed shopping centers meeting a certain criteria in a few select DMAs.

    well, if it is saturated, it wont be profitable for too long.
