Pay back student loans or flip a house?

[Vi Lai]

Hi all, I have a hypothetical question for you all. If you were a 20-something who was fresh out of college and buried in student loans (oh the perks of being young, not). You managed to save up some pretty decent money from your first job, say $20k. Would you use this money to pay off your loans or invest in real estate, specifically flipping a house? Thanks for your input in advance! Vi L.
