Max out 401k or at least until full match is received. DCA into low expense-ratio total market or sp500 etfs. Build an emergency cash fund that covers at least 6 months expenses. Even better with 12 months saved. Finally, your income is your biggest source of cash for investment. Keep looking for opportunities to grow that as you invest

Guessing I should still leave the down payment in a HYSA (getting 3% right now)? Sucks to miss out on market returns, but I understand that conventional wisdom is not to invest money you'll need in the short term (within 3ish years). I'm definitely tempted to put a portion of that in VTI though...
