Thinking of moving $10,000 out of savings into a Vanguard mutual fund. Any recommendations for allocations? This $10,000 would most likely be used as part of a house down payment in the next 5-6 years

I racked up about $20k in credit card debt due to a confluence of things happening at once (move, school expenses , etc ). I have a fair amount of paper assets but not a much free cash.

Any suggestions how to handle the credit card debt without racking up tons of ongoing card interest?

Advice and tips for a first time rental property investor?

I am 24 saving up for my first property to purchase at the end of 2021 / early 2022 in the Long Island, NY area.

I’d like to save up around $50K in my HYSA for a property <$400K in LI. Does this sound reasonable?

Does anyone have any advice on investing in the LI area (best location, SFH v MFH) or just general first time rental property buying advice?

Thanks all

My company just announced that they will stop matching for the 401K until 2021 (sigh). Do you think I should lower my investment percentage to get more liquid assets that I can use for buying an investment property at the end of the year and extra funds available for school as I return for masters? Or is there a better way to get returns?
