Advice needed: I am 23 and have 85k in cash and almost 20-30k in stocks that can be liquidated. No idea what to do or where to invest, any ideas are appreciated. Some options are real estate (st or lt, don’t really like the lt ROR% tho), fast food chains, gas station? My work is remote so can be fairly active in the franchising ideas. Also know a couple others who I can partner up with. Looking to build a steady stream on income that could someday be my main source if I save up and expand.

I'm in a similar position (not quite as much cash tho lol, congrats.) I'd say to check out Codie Sanchez's content for ideas on ways to build steady streams of income through acquisition of small businesses.

I’m in the Pacific Northwest. Toronto is one of the craziest real estate markets I know. I don’t think I could buy there without being a dual income household or finding a way to make more

How the heck did you save and make so much at 23??

If I could have lived with family/parents and saved on rent I would have! But that is such a good move!

Keep your cash!! There are good deals coming in the recession. I still remember coming across a new 2br/2ba townhouse for $249k in the East Bay during the real estate bust and didn't have enough money for the downpayment and it sold a year later for $1.5M! So, be liquid so you can make big money moves!

I live in SoCal and just bought my house, I’m 25 and had similar funds to yours. But my girlfriend is an engineer so double the income made it easier to buy, rather than rent. And we bought a house 150k off the average price in our area. So worth it for us, but if I was alone, car wash or laundry mat all the way….

Agree with the sentiment, but it might be more than 3 months.. I’d rather miss the bottom and catch it on a confirmed reversals and LT break upwards. That most likely won’t happen until the fed reverse their policy (or at least stabilizes it and stops raising the base). At that point, I’ll prob spread 30-45% across QQQ and other ETFs. I pulled everything out of the market at the end of last year, up about 3-400% and sunk it in a house. Now the house went up 26% in the last year and its value is sitting right around 1mil

You are stellar! I have no answer to your questions but I am 25 starting to pay attention investing and finance so I’m very impressed by you!

The real answer here is buy a house, but house hack it. You stabilize your monthly housing cost and you get your foot in the door of real estate investing with the lowest possible amount of down payment.

Mind explaining more? Interested to learn. Feel free to DM.

Index funds. It’s passive and doesn’t require you to do anything

Index funds recommended after securing an emergency fund and eliminating other liabilities and reaching other goals (I.e. property if achievable)

Real estate , bonds, index funds

Personally I would suggest you find a strong wealth management firm and start with them early. Have them develop an overall investment strategy for you and work the strategy. Congrats on this level of savings so early. You are in a great position to grow your net worth that is why suggest an overall strategy versus just finding some good initial investments.

Wrong. Wealth managers not better than cats at predicting stock performances. Invest in QQQ or vanguard as mentioned in above comments.
