Lets say you are given $100000 inheritance. You want to grow that money as fast as possible and as safe as possible.

For those out there doing this or been there done that what is your advice?

Invest in S&P 500 index fund
Buy real estate
Buy RV park
Buy rental units property
Not that I've invested an inheritance, but the first one is the one that best mixes gains while minimizing risk. With an S&P index fund, you're betting on the U.S. economy, which has always given good returns over a multi-year span. If it ever did collapse, your investments aren't going to be able to help you and will be the least of your worries.

#2 and #3 are gambling. The biggest risk is that your investment is all concentrated in one place, and highly local variables will determine if it goes up or down.

#4 can be good money, but you have to deal with the headaches of being a landlord. One bad tenant can ruin the whole thing.

I have an aunt who was left with a nest egg. She spends very little and her money is all in CDs. That's an option if you value safety highly while still having some gains.

Not a financial advisor... just my take.
