Pay off car loan or buy first rental?

[Daniel Lehman]

So I have a car loan with about 4 years left. The interest rate is at 24%. I have been building my credit up and I'm around 700 now but when I tried for a refi i was denied. Should I pay off my car loan first before I pursue getting my first rental with a VA loan? It seems to mathematically make sense that I payoff the loan first because of the high interest rate but if someone has a strong argument for acquiring my first property then i'm all ears!
