Investing with Student Loans
Good Morning BiggerPockets
My name is Doug Meeuwsen and I am a new 31 year old investor from Hillsboro, Oregon. I am also new to BiggerPockets. The guidance, mentorship, and ideas talked about within the forums and podcasts is simply amazing, unlike anything I've seen before. Thank you Josh and Brandon for creating such a powerful tool for all to benefit from.
My first question to this investor community is related to student loans.
As a new investor saving for my first buy and hold purchase, does it make sense to pay off my student loan (5.335% interest rate) or continue making monthly payments and continue carrying the debt?
Thanks for the help and I look forward to interacting with as many of you as possible.
