<prompt> Human: Okay so here is the scenario. I am 21 years old living at home rent freeplan to do so for a few more years. Currently a full time student graduating in Mayno student loans making roughly 500 a week take home selling cars. I have 5500 in an emergency account. Just opened a Roth IRA that I maxed out for 2017 while I could. I also have 5500 in a Vanguard accountVFINX. Only debt I have is a loan with 10,000 remaining 7. Now I have a second vehicleprimary vehicle paid off, worth around 8k that I am going to soon sell soon that should bring me 30,000also paid off. Now the question is what to do with it? I think the best idea would be to pay off the 7 loan leaving me roughly 20,000 after that. Would you then invest the remaining into the market and leave it at that? Additionally, I have always liked the idea of purchasing real estate more to rent out then to try to flip and a very successful close family friend has mentioned he would match whatever I wanted to put up if I wanted to attempt to dive into something like thisor any other similar investment opportunity. It is difficult because if I went this direction I would attempt to try to find a multi-family property and also live in NJ where property taxes and cost of living arent cheap... If needed, I could also probably find another investor to match as well, but Id like to hear some other opinions on this. Thanks in advance guys.  <response>: If I were you, I would pay off the 10k loan, max my 2018 Roth IRA, and put the remainder into a mixture of emergency fundmove out of parents house savings and taxable investments.Real estate is not for me, so I will let others comment on that.
