dividend growth stocks. you won't get rich over night but after months of research, I'm 110% sure its a great path to financial independance, and you get the bonus of not really caring what the market/stock price is doing along the way, as long as the dividend continues to grow and make changes only if it doesn't.

$100K-$150K? I'd buy a house in a good area and rent it out. If you did it right the rent would cover the mortgage.

There's nothing better than bricks and mortar.

A good area of where? Guatemala??

$100k doesn't buy a house anywhere people want to live in the U.S.

He said "the rent would cover the mortgage."

I assume he is proposing a $150K down payment on rental real estate.

$100K-$150K would be the down payment or deposit as we say in Aus. The rest you borrow.

There is alot of "flyover states" between LaLa land, and the big apple that have beautiful homes in that price range...not everyone lives in a 5,000,000 population area, don't discount it until you've tried it.

Small town living at it's best.

This!
this price range will buy a nice 3 bedroom ranch in a well taken care of neighborhood here in Ohio. With excellent schools!

Affordable housing is a hot commodity , and will only be needed more in the future. Not everyone wants to live in an apartment building .
I read somwhere, that Warren Buffet even mentioned mobile homes as a viable investment .

Maybe in California, but there are lot's of places where $100-$150K can buy you a nice single family detached home. I've bought two rentals in the last four years, both of them were under $100K total.

100K won't do you much good.

I'd just spend it on booze, drugs, prostitutes, and if there was any left over; gambling.
