<prompt> Human: My dad is coming into some money and Im trying to help him manage it in a smart manner. He wants to buy a car, no more than 5,000. Hes also floating the possibility of buying a cheap property in our area and turning it into a duplex. Were estimating about 15,000. So with 30,000 left, why would be the smartest thing to do with the money. Hes currently in school for welding and is hoping to be employed within a year. Hes also waiting for a disability hearing. Is a duplex a smart choice or are there better options to use the money wisely?  <response>: Where the hell are you buying and renovating a duplex for 15K?Your dad should probably not buy property, but instead put the money in a target date fund.
