Yes, you can use part of your Traditional IRA funds for a down payment on a home through the First-Time Homebuyer Exception, which allows you to withdraw up to $10,000 without incurring the 10% early withdrawal penalty.

Hi everyone,I’m new to real estate investing and am eager to make my first rental property purchase.

One potential route is using a FHA 203k loan for the purchase and rehab if you're okay with living in one of the units for a period of time.

If you are determined to pay one off, then pay off the lowest balance first. 

But consider this: if your time is worth $100/hour and you spend 40 hours a year on tasks you could outsource for $25/hour, you’re effectively losing $3,000 of potential value each year.
