Student Loans or Real Estate
Hello all! I have a dilemma to figure out. I am looking to invest in real estate but just purchased a single family home about a year ago for the top end of my budget. I have student loans, a car payment, and my mortgage to pay every month. My thoughts were to pay these down as quickly as I could to get rid of debt. However, not I am contemplating on using my W2 income to either focus more on my mortgage in order to build more equity. My other option would be to sell my home soon, since the market is so hot right now. Does anyone have any suggestions on what may be the best option for my situation? Thanks so much in advance!
