$250K buys distressed socal rental real estate. $50K down, rent & depreciation tax advantages cover costs. Wait 5 years, sell $375K. After taxes with deprecation recapture, $50K net+your $50K back. Fairly conservative estimates, risk is in management costs (and of course, total macroeconomic meltdown). If it doesn't hit $375K, just keep raising the rent for positive cash flow until it does. When money is loose and values rise fast (well, won't see that again for a while), refinance to get the $50K out first - calculate the % return when you sell after that!
The "geniuses" charge big bucks to tell people that, and sell them the tax-deferral info (called 1031 exchange in the US, combine with owneroccupancy to avoid taxes on sale). The "scammers" charge big bucks to tell people they don't need the $50K.
Now send me money.
