Investing - September 2007

Doing a class project where we have 100,000 to invest in the stock market (virtual) as a group and leaving 10% aside for us individually. I have never before paid attention to the stock market, and therefore do not know what to look for or buy, can someone give me some pointers?

My wife and I have 2 small kids, a comfortable savings and significant equity in our house which is our only debt (5.5% fixed over 30 years) We are each contributing the max in our employer 401k's and after all the bills are paid we have about $600 left over each month.

We are considering taking a $65k home equity loan at 7% for 15 yrs. and investing the cash in a mutual fund portfolio targeting a 10-12% return. We will use the $600 per month mentioned above to service the debt. With a 15 yr. time horizon we think the market should allow the expected return. I have limited financial knowledge but this seems to make sense. Am I missing something?

I'm looking into investing in the stock market, because its something ive always wanted to do. But i would like to know how and when do you start seeing profits from investing, and when you do see the profits are you liable to touch that money at the moment or are you supposed to let sit there for awhile. I know this might sound funny but i'm a real real beginner. I just dont want to do anything that I'm going to regret.

A widow friend has as part of her deceased husband's estate a number of stocks from different companies. Current values are nearly $700,000 as we calculate it. He bought these from the companies themselves as he did not want to pay a brokers fees. Microsoft, Exxon, utilities, phamaceuticals, etc. (Is this called buying 'over the counter'?). She has boxes full of certificates and also gets a lot of dividend checks.

A financial advisor at her bank told her "not to worry about the stock flucuations as the stocks will remain at the value they were on the day he passed away". I thought this sounded crazy. Could this be true? Please explain either way.

I advised her to sell them and put the money in more stable accounts, but she cannot without succession.

She has three adult sons and they were reluctant to open succession as they think that inheritance taxes will take affect and take a large portion. I think they want to wait until she passes, thinking that will save tax.

Ok. Lets say a Real Estate investor buys a 20 unit apartment building (20-Plex). And this landlord has paid off the WHOLE building. It is 100% occupied and he charges 600 per month in each unit. And wonderfully everyone pays on time every month ;) SO it grosses at 144K a year. ALL i want to know is what will be his NET after that, because i know there are expenses that hes gonna have to use that 144K. Can u tell me what these different expenses are and how much u estimate his net will be after all the expenses? Thank YOU! Sorry about the long paragraph lol im just curious because i want to learn about RE investing.
