As an entrepreneur, where would you invest $100,000 in cash outside of the stock market?
As the question says, no stocks please, or index funds, or mutual fund reccommendation. Just not my thing. I have sold a business and am considering starting or investing in others. So what should I look at? Rental real restate? A franchise? Now that I have a bag of seeds, I’m looking to plant them in fertile groud, preferably in income producing assets. Thanks!

Definitely Real Estate. Sure the economy isn’t that great right now but it soon picks up. Its a good time to buy. You can also bank off of the Foreclosures as well. Good for you!

I would invest in either a luxury funeral home, or a franchise that is sure to make money. Dunkin Donuts franchises cost almost a million dollars here in Staten Island, NY..and ONE guy owns every one. Real estate isnt that hot here right now, and even though funeral homes sound awful, it is a sure thing.

I would get a CD with weekly interest and roll it for a bit, make another $100,000 easy.
Call a bank, I recommend more than one to get the highest interest rates. Tell them you have $100,000 (the minimum needed to do the weekly) and they will be more than willing to talk to you and tell you what you need to know.
It is a great way to earn money fast, the hardest part is getting the 100k to do that with.

There is going to be a flood of investors moving into foreclosed real estate. Might take a look there.

I recommend you read some of Robert Kiyosaki’s works before you go out and invest. He is extremely knowledgeable in understanding what real assets are, and offers many bits of good advice. I recommend starting with “Rich Dad, Poor Dad” and then reading “Cashflow Quadrant”

the real estate market has a bit more to go before it bottoms and that might be a good choice at the nadir but picking a rocketship market is tough, especially if you don’t live there.
I know that you aren’t looking for fund recommendations but a VC fund might be a good choice for the same reason mutual funds are a good choice: diversification of risk.

in a bank and wait. Stock market dangerously high, real estate crumbling, maybe world wide.
At some stage in the near future cash liquidity will be king.

Put your money in Belarusian bank. You will get a 13% rate of interest with NO RISK AT ALL because all deposits are state insured.
Put $100,000 and get back $184,240 in 5 years (compound interest). No fees.
Please don’t email me at (with your Yahoo Answers nickname) for more details. Something tells me that you will just waste my time as others did.

I know a company currently offering 25% annually.
