New job, trying to buy rentals

Taylor K.

Hello, 

I am going to be starting a new job soon with a salary of 50k. I have around 18k in student loan debt. I have around 8k in savings and a  credit score of 670. 

I am trying to start acquiring cash flowing rental properties. I live about an hour south of Pittsburgh, so real estate here is pretty cheap compared to other places. 

I would like your guys opinions on if I should be trying to pay off my student loans first before trying to invest. Thanks in advance
