I like that plan @Devan Mcclish! I get nervous though every time I find a good one. Plus I've been outbid like 6 times so far this season. I keep trying but every time I lose the bid I feel like it's the universe telling me to wait. maybe not though. I'm always looking for them. 

Thanks friends. I like the both idea too. I'm currently living in a single family home so the buying duplex deal won't work here. I really appreciate your input!

I found one. it's cheap and been on the market a while. It needs work but I can see a really cool flip happening and the comps (based on land and sq footage) look good. 

bills are under control and income is better than i've ever had in my life. Which is why it's a question of which. I could get the student loans done with in a 'relatively' short period of time and then have the $1000+ that I pay on them a month to work up another downpayment pretty quickly. OR I could make the minimum payments on them $200 and keep paying them for the rest of my life, but have that $1000/mo now to buy a rental. I think paying them off seems like a good idea but if that stretches longer and longer the few hundred I could make a mo on a rental starts to add up. I really appreciate your input!

Hello Friends! I'm a realtor working in the twin cities and I do a lot of good business. I got into real estate to pay off my student loans without really thinking too much about investing. However, the more I work with investors and listen to podcasts, the more I think I really need to get into this. I've got about 30k left on my student loans and about 18k saved up. What are your thoughts on just paying those stupid loans off over the next year-ish vs. buying a rental now and paying the loans off more slowly? 

I feel like I go back and forth a ton. I've made offers on a few properties but our market is pretty competitive at the moment and I don't want to bite off too much with my first one. 

Thanks for you input!

Hi Rashad, 

I'm a realtor in the twin cities and I work with a few investors. What neighborhoods are you looking for properties in? Flips or rentals? Let me know I can help you out!
