It was a big deal if you actually are planning to cook. 

What is the best way to raise 40k to finish the job?

And if you move out from your parents, whose going to cook for you and go to the grocery store?

Hey Nicholas,I started out with joint venture partners like yourself who put up the credit statement and down payment to purchase a property and I managed it start to finish.

@Kevin Romero - Here is my "starting up" collection:Read ideal-vs-desperate-investor (http://greeneincome.com/index.php/2018/10/29/ideal-vs-desperate-investor/)Read Dave Ramsey book "The Total Money Makeover: Classic Edition: A Proven Plan for Financial Fitness." and complete the baby steps there.Read Scott Trench’s book “Set for Life.”Finish the school and get your degree - you'll need it later, especially if it's business management.Get a job first where you have W2 income.

I just finished the section about Cash on Cash @Brandon Turner's "The Audiobook on Real Estate Investing."

Full disclosure I have one more class to take to finish my actual degree. 

This feels like a moonshot.If you want to take over some foreclosures, just hire an attorney to represent you at the sheriff's auctions in Kane, Will and DuPage Counties, or go to the private auctions in Cook. 

We pay a college kid $200 to do handwritten notes and envelopes to 20-25 houses on the block after we finish a flip. 

I'm using 40k to finish a whole home renovation here on the Wet-side of the state.
