What I am wondering, is if I should pay off as much tuition as possible with money earned this summer (along with previous savings) or to let the same loans I have used the previous years disburse and use that money to supplement a real estate investment after I graduate, despite the additional interest I will need to pay (mix of subsidized and unsubsidized at around 6.5%)I have heard mixed opinions on this matter, and I feel that making loan repayment a priority instead of just paying the minimum monthly balance when I gradate will force me to miss out on the wonderful opportunity that is real estate investment.
