If you had £100,000 to spend...

in what way would you maximise the return on your investment?

I'm applying to be an accountant and this is one of the questions on the app form. I don't really know what to write at all! I'd prefer to say property, but in the UK that wouldn't get you much, plus it's probably overvalued so it might be a risk (at least in the short term) - there's definitely better times to buy into the UK property market. So I was thinking of property abroad, investing about half in a growing market - what to do with the rest?!

    Assuming the investment is sound with good cashflow you'd use leverage. That £100K is a 5% deposit on a £2M property empire. You too can be a property milyonaire! ;)
