What to invest 70k in ?

I’ve managed to save upto 70k during the last couple of years. Was wondering if the misc could give me ideas on what to invest in. I have already invested in mutual funds but I haven’t really made too much from it.

I don’t mind taking a bit of risk because I’m still just 26 and unmarried.

When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I think the market is going to be volatile for awhile.

I would use the money to open savings/checkings to get the various incentives throughout 2019.

For example:

I would say it would be very difficult to yield high percentage with 70k in real estate.

Your best option is being an invisible investor in a startup business or a non-executive director but the risk are greater however the rewards are exponential.

The problem with real estate is that is pretty busy also lot of money is spent on maintenance and other taxes. Getting a good tenant is another issue. However I’ve been researching on it lately and many people have suggested it as a good investment. Thanks for the info!

This is correct, never use your own money when you can use someone else's.

Yes, but it also has the highest average return. You can even hire a company to take care of every single aspect of the transaction, from renting to maintenance and everything in between. Of course they'll want a nice chunk of your profit for that.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

But gl finding a market where a $120k home can rent for $1400/mo. I know they're out there but sure as chit aint my city! would like to know where.. buy a few homes rn prob.
