500,000 dollars it'd be hard to maintain a house with 500,000 i can improve where i live
-
I could buy 3 houses with half a million or just one and sit on my butt for 5 or 10 years... so...$500,000
-
Depending on the house and the value of it. If the value of the house were close to $500,000, then I would take the house. You could save more money by doing that then if you were to get $500,000 cash given to you. The cash is taxable. The house... the only taxes you pay are for property tax.
-
I'd be more than happy to pay taxes on the $500,000. *crosses fingers behind back* Can I have that in small bills, please?
-
If the value of the house is 500,000, then I would take the house, real estate is a great investment normally, just not right now, in todays market.
-
I'll take the cash...
-
I would take the money because it would pay for the house i have and all the other bills in my life. Then me and my grilfriend could live a little easier and she would be a little happier cause she would only work one job
-
The $500,000. cause in many places you can buy a few houses.
-
I could find plenty of places to stay with that cash...
-
The $500,000.00, because I would be able to buy a very well furnished house for half of that and keep good money for a rainy day.
-
Depends on the value of the house and which country it was in. Since I have places to live I would probably take the money unless it was a beautiful house in a lovely location. It would not buy much in the UK.
-
The house. In my neighborhood, they go between $800K and $1.6M on average. :o)
-
$500,000 dollars. Unless it was something like useless Confederate money- then I would take the house.
-
The money. I could buy a house for less than that, and invest the rest.
-
I already have a house so I'd take the 500K.
-
That's a rather easy question to answer...if the house you are offering is valued at more than $530,000, I'd take it. If not, I'll take the money.
-
I'd take the $500,000. I'd pay off my current mortgage, and have about $350,000 left over. Then I'd have to give some thought to what I'd do with that...maybe start a business of some kind...
-
$500,000
-
I'd take the cash!! :)
-
Cash and use half to buy a nice house =]. So BAM! 2 for 1 lol
-
No question - the cash. +5
-
No brainer. Cash, then I can buy a house and then some.
-
Cash, unless it's a huge lavish mansion, then the house
-
Considering my house didn't cost nearly that much, I'll take the jack. Thank you.
-
You would have to show me a photo of the house before I could make this decision.
-
Wow - Um... are you talking 500.000 American dollars because if you are - I'm going to have to take the cash and buy a 1967 Trailer in bright turquoise
-
I'm assuming the house is worth $500,000. I'd take the cash.
-
I would buy a house worth more then 500 000 and then sell so i would have the money in cash and then i would give it to a local charity.
-
The cash. My house is a lot less expensive and I could pay it off and buy another!
-
Cash. I could pay off my house and sock some money away.
-
$500,000 please. I could buy 4 nice houses for that amount of cash in the current economy.
