Pay back Student Loans or Save for First Rental Property ?

[Wyatt Polk]

Good morning Bigger Pockets Family,

So I currently have $55,000 in student loans averaged out at about a 6% interest rate. I have been paying about $1000 a month to try and get this down fast, while still saving any leftover money for my first down payment for a multifamily my fiance and I want to house hack. I am wondering if there is anyone who could shed light on there experiences with paying loans vs. What is the best strategy you've found success with?  Any advice is  welcome! Thank you all. I can provide more info in needed. 

Thank you yo all!

No one has mentioned inflation. Why pay off the $55k now when it will be worth way less than $55k later on? 

If inflation is at 3%, the bank is essentially only charging you 3% on your loan. I would rather have the student loans and an asset than nothing at all.
