What can I do with $3,500?

[Kate Kratochvil]

I have a real estate photography business, and I  save for taxes , and I was thinking about my small amount of savings  and possibly putting it to work  in the investment arena. I know it's a very small amount, but I was wondering if  I could somehow use it  as private money, I don't think it's enough to actually use for my own deal. I am planning to go into real estate  investing next year, right now I am self-educating. Can anyone recommend a proactive move I can make with $3,500?
