Looking for ways to get out of huge debt, using real estate.

[Ralph E.]

I have lots of debt from student loan, credit cards, etc. Trying not to let it stress me out. 

Went against my credit building knowledge last year (all mortgage FICO scores were close, or over 700 at the time), and took out some personal loans, which I invested in things not related to real estate. (Side note: Almost bought two homes for one price in 2017 through FHA loan, thanks to information learned from Rich Weese's book "From Janitor to Multi-Millionaire.)

Living paycheck to paycheck, trying to snowball my credit card debt.

What have you done to get out of debt, or any real estate strategy to help get you out of the hole?

This is a question that might be for people who've been in my situation, but I'm sure there is knowledge from all over BP. 

Thanks in advance!

P.S. I hope I have posted this in an appropriate category.
