Hypothetically, you have $200K to invest into something.  What would you put it into?

I would invest in whatever specifically accomplishes my goals as long as it was within  my risk tolerance. Doesn't matter if it's $1 or $100,000,000.

I WOULD have said land, even last year, but I think you missed the boat on that one.

I bought 16 acres two years ago and paid it off.  It is now worth over DOUBLE what I paid for it.

What I would do and what I might recommend someone else do are two completely different things.  What should I do with a case of 5.56?  Do I have any loaded mags?  Am I currently IN a firefight? Do I own a 5.56 rifle?

What's your goal?  When will you need it?  How risk averse are you?  Is this complimentary to other investments/savings?  How liquid does it need to be?

Why do we keep getting these threads?     Inheritances?  Real estate sales?   BC?     Something else?  

Call Fidelity, have it put into their MM fund.   From there, you can decide how to invest it further.  I said Fidelity for a specific reason.  

Can we please get a Sticky for this.   The repetition is getting tiresome.

$100k in high yield savings at 5%+

Assuming your Roth is fully funded and all other investments are in use.

Pay off any credit cards

Then 5% bitcoin
The rest etfs recommended by an advisor.

Or a really nice piece of land on a river, lake or ocean. Within 30 miles of a decent town with hospital and amenities so it appreciates.
Make sure you can pay properly taxes

That's 3+ change in BTC. Locked in just before the bullrun.

I'm in the same boat. We bought 19 acres in N. ID December 2019, covid made the market there go insane. We've more than doubled in value, possibly tripled. We were so lucky. With how things are now, you'd have to be really lucky to find any sort of a deal on property in many areas.

Give it to a real estate investor friend as a private party lender and make 15% APR over and over again as I flips houses.

Been doing that for a while now but I don’t have 200k to invest.

I threw it out there seeing if I can prompt any ideas.

Ideally, I'd like to invest it into something that would start making money for me so I can stop working for anyone else.  Open an RV park or something like that.  

But we can't really do anything until our daughter is out of school.  It's sitting in a 2.5% money market losing money.  We have a bit left on our mortgage, but the rates are at 3% so I'd rather at least put it in a 5% money market or something for the time being instead of just losing money in the account it's in now.

I'll probably be putting  at least 10kk / month into it for the coming years.  When daughter graduates and out of the house, I want to start working for myself.
