I need your perspective...
I am brand new to REI and incredibly excited for what the future will hold!! Unfortunately, I am up to my neck in student loan debt - however, my dad offered me a position this November making $100k+ guaranteed...but it would require me to move 8 hours away from my wife and our friends and the place I am establishing my roots for our future.
In your experience, would you recommend I do this for a year or two, pay off our debt and get some capital in the bank BEFORE I begin investing? Or should I keep doing what I’m doing now (Realtor), chipping a little bit of debt away a month at a time, but take out more debt to finance an investment? Thoughts?
Thanks,
Kevin
