<prompt> Human: So my Dad won the lottery and has given me 500k to buy a house. Im single, 23 and in university so buying a house for me at this stage in my life doesnt really appeal to me, I would prefer to do this once I have a solid graduate job long term GF etc. I know that real estate in my country is quite stable for now and I could rent the house until I decided to move into it. Ive been wondering about putting the money into a low-risk managed investment fund with my bank or maybe buying a cheap apartment with 34ish of the money and putting a little bit into a managed investment fund. Just so I can get some money coming in through rent or interest!Any advice or ideas will be considered !Thanks :  <response>: It might sound silly at first, but ask your dad. He might have hired a financial advisor I probably would in his shoes, and he may have advice to share. Similarly, bouncing your ideas off of someone you trust is always a good idea. Lastly, he might appreciate you checking with him; he may have intended a specific goal given the specific amount, and you may benefit from hearing him out. By the way, congratulations! 500k is a huge chunk of money!
