I remember I ran into a student at a wedding and they were like "what the hell are you doing?"

I just wanted some help getting started.Presently have zero to little money for a down payment but I was thinking that I could use a student loan to help out with that.

Investor Group that focuses on Student rentals in NC/SC/GA.

Stop contributing more than what your company will match in the 401K, get rid of those car payments, student loans, toys bought on time etc... 

I personaly am closing currently 2 to 5 a month and find it very satisfying and empowering not to mention financially beneficial to my students as well.

You may want to consider the seasonality of champaign URBANA, the students/ school year dictate the times you can rent houses.

What's your interest rate on your student loans?

The debt includes student loans and car payments of both me and my husband.

The short answer is no,don't do it.You don't seem to be in the right mindset to become a member of my profession which is exactly what it is,a profession and not a hobby to pick up or put away at will.My profession requires lots of time devoted to learning both in and out of the classroom for at least 6 months to earn a license and the follow up sales training at the brokerage.It is not cheap either to get started with all the fees involved.From what you are describing about your personal life,family demands,and interests desired to pursue,I would concentrate on learning about investing in your spare time.Learn how to evaluate property for potential profits after repairs are done.Join an investment club and surround yourself with successful people who have already been through the process.Learn about hard money,gap funding,and what it takes to get the money you need when you need it.
