If you are good with real estate I would do that. If you don't know what you're doing I would stick it in an index fund and forget about it.

Option A or B depending upon the cash flow freed up by paying down that loan. Assuming all other cash available and investments are sufficient it have that 100k illiquid in a vacation home.

I personally would simply invest it after eliminating some other small debts.

I've been considering a vacation home/condo investment. I'd be interested in hearing your experience with it.

It's a poor financial investment, it's actually an expense since it's only for personal use. But it's a wonderful quality of life investment, you can't put a price on time with family and relaxation.

When I retire I'll sell my main home, add that money to retirement savings and move into the vacation home.

6% guaranteed return is not bad.

I'd put a down payment on a boat if I work up tomorrow with an extra 100k

Remember it's tax deductible so the return for me is only around 4% to pay the loan down

Do you have a lot of itemized deductions? 6% interest on 150k$ isn't going to push you over the standard deduction if married (or at least not for long) unless you have a ton of itemized deductions

Why? It's underperformed the market over the last 15 years right?

lendingclub notes

They are very short in duration, so if rates go up or the market crashes, you can use the cash flow from the notes to buy into whatever market looks good. A portfolio of moderate credit quality should yield 8-10% net of fees and losses.

I wouldn't plow all 100k in, but putting half in would make a lot of sense.

I would probably flip a house and acquire another rental.

I'd pay off student loans and cars, and use what's left to boost our emergency funds. Take the new monthly streams of income to pay mortgage down and fuel retirement accounts.

Option A: put the 100k towards the last 150k owed on a second(vacation) home which is financed at 6%. ( on pace to pay this one off in the next 6 years regardless)

If you want to keep the vacation home long term, I would probably throw $50k on the mortgage. That should speed up your payoff time frame a few years.

Then I would begin to DCA into the market with the remaining $50k.
