If You Had a Million Dollars

If you had a million dollars in VC capital, right now. What would you do?

I...I would run away to Mexico and f*ck those capitalists! J/K.

Buy 5 houses in the UK for 200K each and live off the rental income. Sweet.

Ok, so realistically probably stick half into long term investments and then use the other half to leverage property for rentals. 500K could get me into 3.3m worth of property on a buy to let basis. Even if you only cover the mortgage from rental income the long term upside is huge. Assume a double in value every 10 years and hold for 20 years, get out with a conservative $10m plus whatever the other half of my money has done.

Wow, every month someone asks this same question...with maybe different dollar amounts... obviously we'd use it toward each of our business ventures. Sorry if that sounded a bit rude, but there must be like 12 of this posts in the forums.

1. Investigate the viability of using a high interest savings account in a high interest place like Turkey (savings accounts there currently 23% if you go to the right place.) That'd be... 250k

2. Real estate, 250k.

3. A bit of small time VC : $300k

4. Put $ into my own business ideas : $200k

I would put half in my invention ideas and the other half into my businesses ideas. After investing in each one of them, one of them would have to take off hugely.

If I had a mill, with no strings attached, I would throw it into high interest savings accounts and live off the approximatly $50,000 a year I would make from just letting it sit there. To easy for me to pass up.
