first time posting here!

If I have $20k, should I pay off my student loan (balance $16k, 6% interest) or buy a investment property?

Interest rates are low right now so if you have decent credit you could refinance your student loans to get them at a lower rate. From there you you need to find a deal that as a higher % return long term. If you do that then real estate is the more profitable option.
