text: what is the best kind of business that i could get into with no experience and only about 10k or so to invest?   something service oriented that you can do out of your house.  you won't have much capital start-up costs, beyond a computer probably and some office furniture, etc.  you might try tax preparation, basic bookkeeping, or maybe a network marketing oriented sales type thing, although under that scenario, you will have to spend some money entertaining clients, taking them to lunch, etc.
