you gotta buy an INSIDERS subscription. The public facing forum has all the gold, but the platinum is in the vault ;)

I have $200k in capital. Any ideas on new startup or investments? I was thinking rental properties but have never gotten into real estate.
If I remember correctly, you run an e-commerce business right? Why not invest in what you already know? If you business can't grow any more you could invest into more e-commerce businesses. For $200k you could buy a couple small e-commerce businesses and grow them.
Your ROI% should be a lot better than any other investment you don't know about.

How did you get the 200k...do that again...
I always assume when people say i have x amount of money a family member died and they got money. You'd be surprised how much a single child gets if their parents died. I find it funny that people assume that someones made x amount of dollars if they're asking "what do I do with the money I made".

I wonder why so many people who used to have an INSIDERS subscription are no longer subscribed.
Is there a specific reason why you're not on the inside anymore?

I never had an INSIDERS subscription, unless I'm super high and have a giant blacked out portion of my memory.

I didn't get one because my problem has always been speed and consistency of execution. I have no shortage of ideas and posting a "rah rah look at me" thread won't keep me accountable. I also don't really need to know details of how someone built their business, as I'm content and used to finding things out on my own.

Yes, that is correct. My business sells consumer electronics online. I work from home. I have just been thinking of getting into something else to bring in more passive income. BTW, nobodies family member has died here as one suggest. Lol, I have worked hard.

You've been a member here since 2015. I'm certain you have seen several potentially profitable business models to research/invest in.

Nevertheless:

If you want to know more about real estate I would look up @SteveO 's post.
@EvanOkanagan

I'm sure there are more via the search bar.

Don't know what else to say the answers are here all around.

Ideas where to invest 200k are everywhere. Ideas on where to invest 200k and get a specific result... ahhh now you're talking. What is your goal with the 200k? Turn it into a million in a year? Grow it at 10% a year? Produce an income? Depending on what your goals are depends on the best place to invest it.

(I have been on a journey of looking to invest excess money as well and I've decided to keep it simple and then live off the income.)

Not the most optimal way to grow a business. Why not learn from the mistakes of others instead of making them yourself?

How did you acquire the $200K to begin with? Most people never see $200K in their entire life. The reason I ask is you should start there, assuming it wasn't an inheritance or a lawsuit payout.

First your depressed and lost, now you have $200k but no home for it.. All this sounds very suspect to me.

My goal is to make it produce passive income in the future.


lol. I assure you. I have not slipped on any pee or inherited any money from no one. I am not even wealthy.

How did you acquire the $200K to begin with? Most people never see $200K in their entire life. The reason I ask is you should start there, assuming it wasn't an inheritance or a lawsuit payout.

I just have a business that sells online. It is not a multi-million dollar business or anything like that but it has allowed me to work from home and do what I want financially and has given me some freedom. That is it. I am always still looking for more opportunists. From my business profits of course I use what I need for my own income but I try to take from it as little as possible for myself and so I reinvest some back into the same business to grow it and I save the other aside to have for other business opportunities. To better explain the 200k. I guess I used the wrong words buy saying it's just capital. This is a combination or personal capital saved and some of the business credit I have available.

I was really thinking of buying properties that I can flip, rent, appreciate and sale later in a low income city but after someone suggested where to find more information for this in the forum. I have been reading but to be honest with the landlord horror stories in these kinds of cities I am reconsidering it. If anyone know more about investing in these types of areas. Any advice?

Also, don't flash your cash online, it's not safe.

Thanks for the tip. Was just looking for some advice. I definitely thought about it.

First your depressed and lost, now you have $200k but no home for it.. All this sounds very suspect to me.

Exactly why. As suggested by others in that exact thread. Chasing new challenges and setting new goals.
