Need help with a financial decision!
I'm closing on my first property at the end of the week. Needed help on my next financial decision.
My car loan payoff is currently ~$7200 at a 7.09% apr ($179/month). The loan payoff date will be 05/2024, assuming I stick with the minimum payment.
Should I:
A) Pay off the loan with the $179/bill
B) Increase my payments to pay it off sooner (2-3 years)
C) Just pay it off with a lumpsum payment?
My first duplex is on an FHA loan, so I won't be able to do another property with a low down payment, unless I get creative, but the higher interest rate on the car is killing me.
