How would you invest $300,000?

I sure a hell would not put it in the market, now that republicans are about to take over... again.

Ironic, isn't it, that the supposedly pro business party hasn't been so pro business?

It's a landlord's market right now, with such demand you have your pick of whatever tenant you want. Also, there are ways to deal with non-payers other than internet tough-guy innuendos. Pick a small town, they have WAY less anonymity and tenants are more likely to behave. You'd probably be surprised at some of the high station clients you get, franchisers often need a place away from home, but close to one of their stores/restaurants.

You can't discriminate though, so you can't really pick. Though I think you're allowed to have a test/form/questionnaire so if you make it hard it should keep the thugs at bay. I know a few people who have apartments and regret it, though, they also live in them. It's probably a bit different if you don't live in it. There's definitely a demand for housing/renting though so it would be easy to get tenants fast, that's for sure.

Come to think about it, I have been hearing commercials on SiriusXM about investing in oil wells. I would do that or natural gas.

You don't think natural gas or oil is a hot commodity? As of now the U.S. is the largest natural gas producer.
