Canageek@nixCraft That honestly doesn't seem that hard. Houses around here go for over a million each, I'd just phone up a real estate agent and buy all the houses on the market...then sell them below cost and crash the market as soon as I'm allowed.

Well Vonovia (largest company for housing in Germany) has a worth of 23 Billion dollars. So just buy some smaller real estate companies.
The difficulty would be to have the buying process done in one month.
And honestly: buying houses / real estate companies is not what I would understand as "spending". That's investing. Otherwise you could also just buy some stocks.
I think the challenge is to spend it on things which are relatively worthless after buying.
@odr_k4tana @nixCraft If you have a Billion dollars you could just offer twice the going rate for them.
Plus it is only a million a house near me, in the sticks, in a decent city they will be far, FAR more than that, so you'd have to buy far less.
Natalie@Canageek @nixCraft I had the same thought. a cash offer closes in less than three weeks in Washington state so I have three days to find a team of lawyers who can manage 500 real estate transactions. seems easy since I can pay them whatever rate they ask. Problem needs to be updated to take Seattle into account, lol
@gnat @nixCraft It's easier since I don't care about the houses, They are just a sacrifice to get the 10 billion. So I can go a lot farther cuz I don't care if I'm getting ripped off, there could just be swamp land for all I care. So I can wave all inspections and not even bother getting lawyers to make sure that I'm not getting ripped off, I just phone up every real estate agent in the city and say I will pay cash for any properties you can bring me by the end of the week.
