$150k cash to invest, need ideas!

**NJ_Entrepr** · 02-18-2010 05:51 PM

Hi all,

My first post and new to this forum.

I have $150k cash available to invest into something. Ideally, I'd like to get into something that would give me good cash flow or something that can give me quick returns.

I have a good job right now, but I'm looking to quick and get into business for myself.

I've narrowed my choices of small biz down to a Laundromat. It is one of the few businesses that be run part-time and still generate great cashflow. As with anything else, it has its positives and negatives, but besides that I really have no idea what I can do with my cash.

Anyone wanna share their thoughts/ideas on what to do with $150k cash????

You can try real estate, buy a house and rent it. It consumes no time, homes are rising in value, and it is really safe.

If you are looking for quick returns, you can go into VC. Choose a startup with great potential, invest step by step, following them, or get in contact with a startup incubator. ( You can ask me of several I know, their websites are in spanish. ) They have a strong experience with startups and is where big returns are made.

I hope this will be useful.

Regards.

My business partner and I had a clothing line under development which is ready to launch, however since our main focus Vaiz Enterprises has seen a substantial increase in activity we had to put it on hold. We are considering selling it for a low price. The design lineup is stgrong, the website is complete and odmain name is ready. the brand is very very appealing and geared towards fight culture. If your interested at all in mma then Superior MMA would be a good choice and we will let it all go(designs, site, domain, everything) for 5k. We could also workout a deal to provide you with further web support and/or marketing if need be(since that is what our main business does). email me if you would like more info chris@vaiz.org

I actually have one other thing up my sleeve here that we have available right now to some of our clients who actively seek passive investments. I could run that past you as well, its web based.

Discount notes make a great, very secure, investment. I'd recommend either looking for a first position on a mortgage or a portfolio of Auto-notes from a car dealer. You can make 20-30% a year with no work and your investment is secured with real property, either a house or car titles respectively.

And you could check out the "looking for capital" forum to see what your fellow young entrepreneurs are offering.

I have to admit I'm being fairly self serving on this thread, since I'm going to be posting in "looking for capital" in the morning and I broker discount cash flow. Please don't let that cause you to ignore my suggestion. If you're interested in cash flow notes I'll happily give you the name of a great broker with whom I have no financial incentive for you to do business.

You should wait until you have that million dollar idea. You have obviously worked hard for that money, don't just throw it into something you know nothing about because it will probably fail.

Real estate isn't known for quick returns and its not where I would recommend anyone to use their money for returns (its a slow and less effective way of generating cashflow)... I know because I own several real estate properties myself.

As with VC, he probably can't do that either. He must be accredited and given the amount, I almost confident he's not.

Hi I just want to say real estate is the perfect investment right now. Why do I say that ? While banks are feared to loan money private investor are taking in profit they would not get if there money set in a Bank or a 401k or Stock market. I was reading a publication saying that realestate like all other investing has its risk as well as its rewards. I'm a investor and with the house market at a all time low and mortgage rate so low buyers are out looking for deals. Become the Bank not a landlord. If you want to invest in something then buy realestate "now" the bottom has falling on the market so gather as many home as you can with little risk. You can pick my brain if you need more information. Good luck .

Have you looked into the medical marijuana industry?

If you have technical skills or aptitude you should look into something related to mobile businesses; software, games etc.

If that doesn't work for you look for something in the international trading arena (buy low, sell high :-)) and not just to/from the US as there are many opportunities overseas than can all be managed stateside.

Take your time, do your due diligence regarding the people who approach you (i.e. look for a track record before forking over your cash) Good luck with whatever you get involved with!

Hi,

Be very careful, do your homework very well.

For me I'm waiting till mid to late next year before spending my cash. For many reasons I think things are going to get a lot worse before they get better.

My theory is wait for shit to hit the fan, have the money to pounce and buy everything I can at the worst possible time.

Cheers

Pete

Don't rush and spend that 150k!

Make a plan of what you want to do with it, like buying a new AMG Mercedes maybe.. no just kidding :P

But I would be wary of investing now with markets down and uncertain. Anything could happen, so I would hold off it for now.

Hard to do, but patience is virtue
