I'm an analyst and my partner is a Dentist. When we eventually save up enough money, should we first buy a dental practice for my partner (I'll be the office manager) or first purchase a house?

Purchase a house with enough square feet and run the office out of the house. Tax breaks, write offs + you get both. My last two dentists were run out of a section of the house and I loved it. Whenever you decide to retire you can sell a much appreciated house because of the expansion.

It would either be buying an existing practice or a house. Don't have the option of dental office in house :/

Not knowing anything, my guess is that opening a practice first and getting your business running will be the better investment over the long term. However, which do you want?

On track to max out my 401k and will max my Roth IRA next month. I think I’ll have about 3k to invest by the end of this year before I can start putting contributions toward my 2022 Roth IRA. What do you guys think is the best place for that 3k? Should I max out my 401k faster? Diversify more into crypto (about 1/7 of my network)? One note is that I can’t do mega backdoor Roth.

Couple notes on my situation.

35k in equity (14k in 401k, 16k in Roth IRA, 5k I’m crypto)

I’m starting a business and need about $50K in upfront costs. I’ll fund half with cash and am looking to take a loan (which by my projections can be paid off in year 1) for the other $25K.

Would you recommend taking the loan through my personal name or through the company, assuming the interest rate for year 1 is 0%? I feel like it will take awhile to get the $25K for the business as the loan receiver pre-revenue… right?
