I bought a small farm many years ago. It is amazing that there is always something to do to keep me from being bored. It's not a lot of extra income but the land keeps appreciating so it will turn out to be a good investment over time. It's also a nice place to shoot. | |||

In a lot of the country $100K or less would be a decent down payment on a 3-4 family house, especially if it's not in great condition. If your reasonably handy, fix it up, rehab the apartments as they turn over, upping the rents as you do. As your net income goes up, your forcing appreciation of the value. As some point you can have enough equity that you can borrow against it to get down payment for the next one. | |||

If we had that kind of money saved and the rest provided by a business loan, the wife and I have always wanted to open in indoor/outdoor go-cart tracks and shooting range. | |||

Take it to a broker and invest it wisely. Spend your time and effort improving your health and relationship with your significant other. Or get a job. | |||

A few years I looked into buying a campground. Has a lot potential, but I backed out for two reasons. 1- wife was freaking out over using our home and retirement as collateral. 2- it seems a lot of owners run two sets of books. One showing a good profit, and the other... The idea of working 9 months a year, mowing grass, miner repairs, building something up then selling was appealing, but decided to pass.

This is, with some good examples, is exactly what I was mentioning to consider in an earlier post. We did Kettle Corn. Hard work, long hours, but good return for sure. Silent | |||

Maybe a shuttle or courier service. If you like rigs, people and like to drive. By networking with the right people and business' I think you could make a nice living. I also think you could easily get settled in to it for your investment amount. If I was going to do it I would set some specific parameters in my business model. There will always be naysayers and attorney's that think you need them to insure you have all the right answers.  I say go for it. Btw, I have a good idea for a name!

I didn't see anyone said "Gun Shop"...If you have $100K and with a proper business plan I'd think you probably can borrow some more. Of course location would be critical so you would have a decent market. Hire a couple of decent smiths and some retirees who teach self-defense.

Interesting responses. Cant tell you what you would start. But I can tell you I would reverse engineer what I love doing. Itll never feel like work. So my question is, what do you love doing?

I put the expected failure rate at high 90 percent level. Little cash, no plans or skills. It is nice to dream but that is all it is. If you were an investor ~ would you give money in this scenario? Sorry. | |||

I think you have the recipe for disaster. Just look around and see what business are out there or not around in your area. If there was a market for it im sure it would already have been done. Sure a Chickfila is a guaranteed gold mine but the application process is insane. Having a billion dollars does not mean you will have a chicfila. | |||

I'm with sigmonkey: Go for it! There's a lot of negativity in this thread... but if you figure out what you want to do, and you have the support of your very smart wife... Do it!

The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit.

In Florida, a service business FOR SURE. I have a service business. Something you can work out of your home garage or a small warehouse. Low overhead, don't have to stock a lot of parts,etc. Just a truck, tools, and go. Plenty of service customers for pool cleaning, pressure cleaning, painting, gutter cleaning, driveway sealing, carpet cleaning, etc. etc. etc. Just find what you like to do and go with it. You could make 6 figures a year with a pressure cleaning business that only you and possibly a helper do with one truck you can use for personal use and a $5,000 investment (maximum) to start, same with a pool cleaning business. | |||

Sounds like investigating insurance frauds would be a hoot for you. Sounds fun even for non LE, but you have credibility there. I think you would have to focus on marketing quite a bit in the beginning. Whatever you do, spring for a good web site. I know I wanna be Jim Rockford.  | |||

Invest the $100K in a 5-year CD and get a 9-5 job at someone else's company in a field that interests you, and make sure you keep your eyes and ears open to learn how the business operates. Without any experience in a business area, you are completely out of your element trying to run your own business. Most small businesses fail, even when run by people with a good deal of experience in the field. After 5 years in the field, if you still want to run your own business, go for it. But it will not be a 9-5 job, more like 7-7. | |||
