investing 125,000

[Got Gear?]

Beer and hookers!!

super easy way: 125k mutual fund growth fund

Little diversity : 25k small cap growth fund

25k mid cap growth fund

25k small cap value fund

25 mid cap value fund

Four is enough, always check Morningstar Mutual Fund Ratings, yes, go with five star rated funds.

You're about 27 yrs. , put it away and forget about it.

Buy a house, put a bit down, and get a fifteen year mortage.
You'll be free and clear at 42 puting 1k to 1.5 k in pocket every month.

DO NOT REPEAT DO NOT THINK YOU CAN GO WHERE PROFESSIONALS GO EVERY DAY AND MAKE BUCCO'S OF MONEY

ie, flipping real estate, trading stocks, buying a business, if you want to do any of these things, spend a few years learning first, find a good ( not average ) mentor, otherwise disaster will be constant companion, unless you are like a lotto winner and get lucky

Real estate is the way to go right now. You can put it into mutual funds but that takes a while and the market has to be in your favor. The way the markets look these days, sooner or later they will be going back up BIGTIME!! So you will have to really investigate what you want to do. That bikini car wash is actually an excellent idea. But only a summer thing.

Real estate or cd's. Usually if you invest $100,000 or more you can get some good interest rates on cd's.
