        buy up some depressed real estate, rent those bitches out for 1.5 x the mortgage, meaning you are making money and they are paying your equity.

        Monthly income + solid investment. Best place right now.

        Looking into buying a few houses out here myself. Houses literally can't go lower anymore.

              There arent too many depressed homes in brooklyn, and back home in mass chasing rent is a fukking daily job

                starting an illegal operation with your grandpa's money doesn't seem much better. How much of that 250K actually gets to you? Might not even be enough.

                    well if you're going to do it, keep your limits small I guess... is making a little bit of money worth going to jail over though? Betting with a bookie = not a big deal, being a bookie = prison.

                          I'm def not going to gamble it.. that would be throwing it away and I hear u on the prison aspect.. u dont think 50k would be enough to start a low level book?

                              Sure, if you keep your limits small enough. You couldn't have a client like me though, I've taken an online book for 25K in a week before and that'd shake you down. Plus if you are taking small bets and settling up small, maybe you wouldn't go to jail.

                                Yeah I would def stay small and probably have a dime limit.. I dont want to be chasing someone for 10k if they lose,, that wi=ould get ugly

                                  How old are you? 18?

                                  This is honestly the dumbest thing you could do. Your grandpa worked his ass off to give you an inheritance, and you're going to set up an illegal sportsbook??? Jesus. Either invest the money in stocks/ETFs/real estate, or just keep it in the bank until a good investment opportunity arises. Don't be stupid and land yourself in jail

                                            Well since he was rich, he probably got that way by kicking people in the teeth,so why don't you just give it back to all the people he stole it from?

                                                Maybe open up a bar or something? Or take your family on some crazy, amazing vacations. Its definitely not worth the risk of jail. At all.

                                                Hell, maybe you could start up your own charity for a cause you really believe in? Leave a great legacy behind, one that everyone can be really proud of

                                                  Monthly income + solid investment. Best place right now.

                                                  Looking into buying a few houses out here myself. Houses literally can't go lower anymore.

                                                  Chalky dispenses good advice.

                                                  My only concern would be a projected rise in interest rates after
                                                  the 1st of the year resulting in a deeper drop in property value.

                                                    Going local is a piss-poor idea. Chalky has it right. Most of the wealth being generated by savvy investors is in real estate. If you or some of your friends have trade skills than even better. Buy smaller-to-midsize homes in decent areas. I have no idea what state your in, but I'd recommend buying in the Pacific Northwest, which I believe will be a highly desirable location for many in the near future. Cooler, milder climate year-round, green, and the market is still prime for the buying, whereas many other regions have rebounded some. GL!

                                                        I actually own a construction compant so maybe I will dump some money in the northwest.. I just dont want the headache of maintaning.. maybe buy small like u said and fix them and put them on the market.. I haven't done that in 10 years though because I took a beating on a couple properties.. I'll have to look into some projections about that area Thanks High

                                                          If you go local keep it small, 200-500 settle every week. No more than 3-team parlays. Keep it fun for your clients and you could possibly take in 50-100K a year. Hang out at a local sports bar and be available for the player, and they will come. Pay and collect there as well. Be a good bookie, and your customer base will be huge. You are offering a service, be professional about it.
                                                          Good Luck !!!!!!!!!!!
