Payoff Student Loan Debt or Use Money for RE Flip?

[Debi Love-Ballard]

Hi All! I have approximately 43,000 left to pay on my student loans and have been paying on these for years. I have negotiated with the company and they will accept a 15% discount if I pay off the balance now. I have around 35,000 saved and am looking to begin property investing and purchase a house to flip. What advice for a newbie to pay off the debt or continue with the payments and go for the flip. This also is my last debt. Thanks in advance for your comments/suggestions!
