What would you do if you had £100,000 to spend/invest
 
A mate of mine just sold 1 of his houses and made £100,000 profit, and he asked me what i could do with it.

I couldnt suggest other than to put it back in property as i was in shock he asked me:wonder:

What would you spend/invest in?

StickyMicky 14 February 2008 03:26 PM

sn will say NR shares, so beware :D

I'd invest it in a nice big tub of popcorn...

Steve_PPP 14 February 2008 03:28 PM

I'd invest most of it straight back into a bigger house :D

although i'd hold back about £20k, spend most of that on a nice Hawk STI and the rest on a holiday somewhere :)

PeteBrant 14 February 2008 03:28 PM

I wouldn't put it in property at the moment, that's for sure.

I would ask him what sort of return he wants on it, and how what sort of risks he is willing to take with it.

davegtt 14 February 2008 03:31 PM

Spend it on Booze and Hookers, then waste the rest of it :)

Will 14 February 2008 03:32 PM

Do you think it would be a good idea for him to buy a plot, build a house and sell it??

Only if hes had experience of that before. Personally I wouldnt be risking £100k in the property market as an investment just yet.

stilover 14 February 2008 03:40 PM

997 Turbo in Black.

SJ_Skyline 14 February 2008 03:44 PM

I would ask everybody on NSR what they thought I should do with it :thumb:



Oh, hang on a minute.... :wonder:

Get Married? He wants an investment, not a sure fire way of losing ALL his money ;)

MartinM 14 February 2008 03:55 PM

Nat 14 February 2008 03:57 PM

LOL

Less CGT allowance and indexation, etc, of course :thumb:

Petem95 14 February 2008 05:53 PM

- 45k into 3 x NS&I Index Linked Bonds issues (~5.5% tax free)
- 30k into Kaupthing at 6.5%
- 25k into Icesave 2year fixed at 6.7%

Batten down the hatches, and then in a few years look to buy some cheap asset/shares as things are starting to bottom out :)

stevebt 14 February 2008 06:09 PM

bet it on black :)

that is prob the most sensible thing, but who here can honestly say if they had an extra £100,000 from effectively nowhere, they wouldnt spend some on some fun, as in a new car or something.

cause i certainly couldnt. ;)

MrRA 14 February 2008 06:28 PM

I'd go and buy a white 997 GT3.

Gav 14 February 2008 07:02 PM

I'm with MrRA:)

David Lock 14 February 2008 07:05 PM

I'd borrow another £100k and go and buy a smallish property in the Seychelles suitable for 4 people. I would live there myself during the UK winter living on mostly fish and local beer. Then I would rent it out for the rest of the year which would more than pay the mortgage when I would be living in the UK.

Next :)

In case you hadn't guessed I hate British winters and am getting increasingly sick and tired of the loss of what used to be a decent place to live in with decent people.

This is what I'd do. Apart from hookers, charlie, booze and a 997 Turbo of course. :)
