I have more of a Dave Ramsey philosophy of clearing your debt first. Especially since its low and you have a decent amount of money already saved up to clear them. How long would it take for you to clear the remaining 13K with a full time job? 6 months? 1 year? The real estate market is also nearing the top so delaying by those few months might result in a better deal when the market cools.

 Also what is your interest rate on your student loans? If its above 5%, I say definitely go and clear that debt first.

Welcome! Consider this your personal invitation to join the Northeastern NJ Real Estate Investors Networking Meetup. No matter what your strategy is, we want to hear about it! It doesn't matter if you have zero, one, or one hundred properties, you are more than welcome to join us. Our meetups are casual and designed to provide an environment focused on 1) Networking, 2) Encouragement, and 3) Learning. We meet the first Wednesday of every month at 7 PM. 

Each meeting will have a topic that will be posted in advance. We ask attendees to do some brief research on the topic and the group will come together as a whole to discuss our findings:
