Hey man,
Honestly, I'd go with a combination of two choices had I been put in your shoes.
1) Do the real estate thing - small downpayment - rent it. There's a reason why they made that Game - "Monopoly". More millionaires have been created out of real estate than anything else. Just do yourself a favour and read up a hell of a lot on it first. Or find someone you trust that can do a good job and doesn't ask for too much in return.
2) Foreign Exchange. They've deregulated foreign exchange markets and have opened them up to the public. It's super easy trading because you can never really "lose" as long as you don't automate stuff. I've got a buddy making around 5k extra a month doing that stuff. You could easily turn what's left of your 9k (after buying a place) into another 9k all over again. Drop me a line (PM)if you want info on it.
