Paying off medial school student loans vs. buying real estate

Harrison Falwell
Posted

Hey folks. I'm a medical resident and have begun to think about what my game plan is going to be once I'm finished.  I'll have about 350k in student loan debt. My starting salary will be around 450k, and should increase to 600k or so within 3-5 years. My question: should I rush to pay off these student loans within 1-2 years first, and then get started in real estate? Or, should I instead buy a 1-2 homes  per year for my first couple years instead and pay off my loans at a slower rate?  Thanks for your help!
