Newbie needing some advice

[Account Closed]

Hi everyone!

Completely new to the game here but really wanting to get started.

I’ve got about $8K in student loans, and another $8K in credit card debt, plus the mortgage on our house. So here’s my question...

Should I pay down that debt before I start working toward buying my first rental property?

Yes, you should be debt free before you start investing.

I highly recommend you read, "Set For Life" by Scott Trench. It is full of solid, practical advice regarding finances. Your financial discipline is your investment foundation. It needs to be strong if you want to be successful.
