Work overtime to pay down debt or work overtime to invest?
Hey everybody, I am brand new to the game and keep getting torn on which direction I should go. I discovered Dave Ramsey last year and ever since then I have been busting my butt in overtime trying to pay off all of my debt except for my house. I have been on the search to do something else with my life for the past few years so I can spend more time with my family and not have to worry about a 9-5 schedule, or in my case 6-6. It feels backwards because I am working 60 hours every week just to be able to not work hardly any hours eventually. I am really confident that I want to invest in Real Estate as my passive income path but now I'm wondering if I should save money to invest in real estate now or keep paying off debt and invest afterwards? I have $1,000 in saving and every bit of my extra money goes to the debt snowball. I can be debt free in a little less than 2 years with the exception of my house. My house will be paid off in 5 years with the debt snowball. I am starting to talk with my local credit union so I can possibly get a HELOC on my primary to start my first deal. I am stuck in the analysis paralysis stage with reading books, listening to podcast, and watching videos. I want to try and learn every part of the process and play it out in my head so I am better prepared. I do not want to get halfway through the process and hit a brick wall because I did not do the right thing prior. Any advice would be appreciated and I would love to have somebody that I can message and bounce questions off of now and then and not have to worry about sounding dumb. Thanks BP!
