If your employer offers a 401(k) or 403(b) and matches it, start there.

Well I don't have 30 k lol but can this be turn into some kind of a deal?

if you find a house that ARV 225 k, that you can buy for 155 k and rehab for 25 K, and you have selling cost 15 K ( realtor commission and 3 month holding....) , let us say the total investment amount = 195 Kthe net profit = 30 k which is not bad return of 15% in less 3 month from start to sold.the formula 225 x 70% - 25 k will be the price rehabber want to pay which is 132.5 k which is too little TO SELLER, which sometime leave nothing for the seller to walk away.what do you think?
