If you were given $500,000 to invest with, what would you do?

>>1764661

Buy an appartment or a house in a city which is growing. 500000 is not enough to buy something big so you would probably have to take a loan, but then you could buy something for 700000 or so.

I'd put it into a low cost s&p ETF fund.

Buy 30k shares of AGNC and live off the 5k dividends per month

acquire gambling skills and gamble cool stuff

then maybe put 250k into energizing markets. rest i would live in slovakia

>>1764661
Put it in a three- or four-fund lazy portfolio and never have to save for retirement for the rest of my life.

>>1764661
ask somebody who has experience and track record to handle it

if that is not an option, invest into corporations like amazon, northrop gumman, raytheon and hold for the long run

I was thinking real estate
>>1764717
I don't know anybody, my family have never had more than $100k at one time

>>1764661

Buy 2 rental properties in a growing city. Earn $3k to $4k a month in rent.

Should I Airbnb them out or rent them out traditionally?

Be smart and invest in a couple of rental properties or multifamily.

>>1765307
Don't do this AirBNB shit. Find two properties valued at <$300k but have high rental rates, put a down payment on both significant enough to eliminate PMI, rent them out to people that will pay you for your mortgages plus a little extra on the side.

>>1764661
20% down on 2.5 million in rental real estate.

Quit working.

>>1765331
Depends if OP is a first time buyer or not. I don't even think you can qualify anything over $600k as a first time.

looks kind of sketchy, although if you are just holding for dividends it may be ok to put all your money into one stock.

>>1764661
500 hundred buckaroos eh?
Don't know bro. Maybe I'd buy a xbox one

>>1764661
Build replica classic cars.

>>1764661
Now that youre done with the company, what was it?

>>1764661
start another company and sell it?

>>1764661
Buy back the company so you can have some form of income.

>>1764661
Honestly I'd sit on it in cash for a couple of months until I had some clear direction which way the market is headed. If you really feel like you need to get in some S&P ETF do it in $50,000 blocks over the course of several months so if the market moves against you or something else comes up you still have some dry powder.

I got lucky, I doubt it'll happen again

>>1764683
is AGNC solid? just looked up the share price - i wonder how it didnt slump after the rising of FED interest rates.

also
>EPS2014: - 0.72 USD
>Div2014: 2.61 USD
>Operating Profit 2014: -233mUSD

>EPS2015: 0.54 USD
>Div2015: 2.48 USD

that payout ratio doesnt seem healthy

buy some rentals for half the money, then pay a tiny fee to a management firm and get the rent while doing nothing. the other half goes to some passive index fund.

>>1764661
Honestly OP, if you are not shitting us you have an easy life to look forward to if you don't fuck it up.

Invest 400K in a balanced portfolio, like the permanent portfolio or something like this anon says >>1764715

Do not put everything in one basket or one form of investment.

For the remaining 100K You can buy up property in shittier countries and rent it out to wealthy foreigners, but you do not really need to do it since you could just live off of the passive income from the 400K.

You can just buy a house and a good pc, travel, learn stuff etc. for the 100K. Possibilities are endless.

Look up ERE and read the wiki, you could live a comfortable life if you are not held up in the dream of lavish bullshit and spending on frivolities.

Good luck man.

6 years ago I had about half that amount. I dumped it in spy, now it has more than doubled, and so have the dividends.

>>1764661
How did go about selling the company?

>>1765334
Dont have to be one place.

Also, i got 2 shitholes rent to own.

Can i still get a bank loan and build a 100k house with 1st time homebuyer loan? Tired of living like a squatter in my own shit
