I'm still going with the pay someone. Imagine not having to strain your eyes, no more dirty digits, no more finger cramps. You could just sit there in your smoking jacket and watch. Plus if you pay the guy right. You could have him do your happy dance when you find silver.

CRH does not pay enough for that, especially when you already have a million. It is the fun that pays you.

Considering that a Million really isn't that much money nowa days, yes, I would still CRH, it would be a lot easier though with that kinda bank roll, the rest would be invested in property and sustained income. HH, Maverick.

My theory is that $1,000,000 with fractional reserve provides a local bank with 1/10 reserve the ability to lend $10,000,000 from my $1,000,000 deposit. If they lend the $10,000,000 at 4%, they make $400,000 a year from me as a customer before any cost to them for dumping $50,000 a week. HH

Flipping houses is actual work. It does look like fun, but I am betting that when it gets right down to it, it is probably more work than fun.

Storage Auctions is a lousy business. 99.999% of the stuff you find is barely sell able at thrift stores. The rest is outright dump. From what I understand, the REAL odds of finding something great and/or valuable is remote. I know someone who is in real trouble economically speaking. He has some real treasures in his storage locker. I've told him that if he will let me sell the stuff, I will pay off the locker, and then we can do a 50/50 split on everything I sell. The GOOD stuff rarely goes for repossession. (Those auction shows are fixed... Believe me, I know).

I would buy a Ground Lease for a local business with maybe 5 or 10 years or so on the lease. I would allow them to stay, if they keyed the rent to the consumer price index (or some other inflationary price index). That would keep me in the chips... I would then retire.
