So, start saving now while you are in High School. 

For less risk, consider hard money or a business LOC.Remember that LLC might help in tax savings if you are going to have decent profit.

Keep saving money. 

Many opt for other investing methods in their SDIRA like private lending, crypto, private equity...anything except collectibles and life insurance.Note that a Solo 401k is exempt from UBIT on leveraged real estate so if you have self employment activity and no full time employees save for you and your spouse you should consider the Solo K as an option.
