What Would You Invest $25,000 In?
Posted on 1/22/16 at 7:50 am

I'm thinking about taking a $25,000 DOD loan at 1% interest, but I have no idea what to invest it in.
Any recommendations for a safe investment with a decent rate of return?

How safe and how decent a rate of return are we talking here? I probably wouldn't put the entire $25,000 in all at once since I don't think the market is done going down yet.

Fair enough. What would you do with it?

Do you have any other investments? I'd personally open an account at Fidelity or Vanguard and get in a couple broad market funds that have no commissions and low fees. They both offer funds with a $3,000 minimum or even cheaper fees for a $10,000 minimum.
Take two admiral shares funds ($10,000 min) and use the remaining $5,000 to buy more if the market keeps dropping.

A percentage of a NNN leased piece of real estate.

They are generally called a career starter loan and given to people in certain military training programs.
They can offer such a low interest because they know you're good for it and in the contract you agree to garnished wages, so the lender never misses a payment and it also requires direct deposit from DFAS (defense financial...). Normally when the direct deposit stops the interest jumps somewhere in the teens.

It's 1% now? Geeze, it was 2.99% a few years back.

A9 month promissory note that pays 13-16% backed by 1st position liens and/or collateral with zero management fees.
It is not correlated to the stock market or our economy.
That is what I would do all day long

Or there is another 9 month promissory note that pays 7% and is backed by three times collateral and has two legal measures to avoid losses.
It's not exciting at 7%, but over 9 months it annualized at 9.33%.
I don't know of anything is better with that short time horizon.
