Pay off student loans or invest ?

Hey guys ! I have about $34000 of private student loans left to pay off at an interest rate of 3.55% that’s approx 675 per month. I’ve also managed to save 40k up until now, I earn about $5200 per month net. With a credit score of 801. Should I use this saved up 40k (which includes my emergency fund) to put 3.5% down on a fourplex in order to house hack it? Or should I just pay off my debt. What would you do in my position? I live in NYC looking for fouplexes in nyc or connecticut.

The Biden administration is trying to see if they can legally wipe out up to $50K of student debt.  Personally, I am not in favor of this activity, but if the government is actively giving away the money, you would be wise to wait and see if it benefits you.
