<div class="bbWrapper">Who would you reach out to first? What type of investment would you make that you&#039;d think will give you the best return in a moderate time frame? When would you imagine it will yield the best gain at the quickest pace? Where else would you disperse other portions of that liquidity? Why wouldn&#039;t you might not want to go all in on one idea/asset to expand revenue by a huge dividend? How would you put the pieces together to form a thriving asset?</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;d drop it in the brokerage account with the other money and buy some stocks that I think are good long term cruise control opportunities right now and let it sit.<br /> <br /> Or<br /> <br /> Buy 3 or 4 80% LTV rental homes.<br /> <br /> Depends on the mood I&#039;m in. Stocks are cheap enough now and way more liquid.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">Suppose that I had a hypothetical question. Imagine there was a forum where there&#039;s a FAQ section right up at the top, that says &quot;please don&#039;t ask hypothetical questions.&quot; Humor me, for the sake of discussion, that my hypothetical question was exactly like the kind the forum owner said, please don&#039;t post here. Why by golly, I&#039;d rush to make a new post with that hypothetical question right away. Assuming that was your situation, wouldn&#039;t you? Or - I know this is so hard to envision, sorry it&#039;s so speculative - would you perhaps do something else with your hypothetical question?</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Until my cash flows were firing on all cylinders I would keep investing in my best chance at creating cash flow. <br /> <br /> So - if that 150k represents the majority of your money I wouldn&#039;t put it into anything but yourself.</div>

I&#039;m trying to decide between 3 paths.<br /> 1) Buy a 2012 458<br /> 2) Buy an FBA business for $150k, use to it make the monthly payments on the 458<br /> 3) Start an FBA business from scratch, use to it make the monthly payments on the 458<br /> 4) Leave it in the bank at 1.5%<br /> <br /> The reason I&#039;m sticking with FBA, is that I really don&#039;t want to do alot of extra work with this business (no more employees and no more warehouse space). I have enough going on as is, so I&#039;m trying to be as passive as possible on this venture.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">Simple... I’m buying a business with exceptional MRR. <br /> <br /> But another part of me is saying models and bottles.</div>

The video was shared by a guy who teaches young people how to get a job on Wall Street. I found his site when I was searching for advice on how to find affordable suits. (His article on that is excellent.) Unfortunately I don&#039;t remember his name or site right now. I think the jobs he helps people get make them King and Queen of the Slowlane, but the business advising people could well be a Fastlane success!</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I have many examples that were real life. Most had to do with purchasing crappy properties, renovating them, and selling for incredible profits.<br /> <br /> The most recent is a land deal which is outlined here. <a href="https://www.thefastlaneforum.com/community/threads/land-game-lot-splitting-and-investing.82075/" class="link link--internal">Land Game (Lot Splitting and Investing)</a><br /> <br /> Basically paid $120K for 40 acres. Selling 9 acres or so in three lots. Keeping 30 acres bordered against state and federal land to build my house on.</div>

<div class="bbWrapper">I&#039;d immediately hire 2 or 3 employees/contractors in succession to work on my existing projects.<br /> <br /> I&#039;d then spread out into other MVP fishing, in attempt to find something juicy, and once I did I&#039;d nail that with everything I had. $150k once off just aint going to cut it. Turning it into $150k a year would.</div>
