Keep saving or pay consumer debt?

Hello BP People,

I’m in a situation where I have approximately $8k in car debt & $20k in 
school loans. I have about $6500 in my bank account and growing that by about $1000-$2000 a month. 

Would it be best to focus on getting rid of that debt first before buying my first property or keep saving for my first property?
