You have a short window of Independence where this is socially acceptable before a lady comes into the picture.

Don't forget you'll need electric, water, and sewer hookups in your backyard , which may require permits.  

And on top of that, if you buy in what is considered a “distressed” area (I forget the exact terminology), they even cover closing costs as well.

Windows broken and boarded up.

The student loan even if you are paying 10% will not make a difference so just forget about it and focus on doing more flips.Once you have so much money in the bank that you can't figure out how to invest it all then you can pay off your student loans.

@Jaron WallingLicense You will work harder than you’ve ever worked in your life if you want to be a full-time successful agent,You will have less free time than you have ever had if your actually going to work as an agent and make money, Cold calls, door knocks, family and friends most likely won’t trust you at first with no experience Following up with leads, managing your database, sending comps, houses, driving more than you have ever driven in your life 😉Investing:If you don’t own or have a place get a house hack started, then you can see how a rental kind of works, fixing toilets etc, switching lights out changing flooring, duplex is always ideal.Then after that is running or if you have the capital now run market rents on a apartment complex or whatever you can afford, see the down payment plus taxes- all of expenses if the property is cash flowing from market rents sure thing, just as easy as it sounds 😂😂😂Don’t forget vacancy’sAnd rinse and repeat tell you have enough residual income that your comfortable with and you will never have to work for the man again!

I am in a similar situation and have opted for getting a HELOC on my duplex.

Don't forget to include the loan origination fees, as well as any exit fees.

Don't forget doing STRs to travelling workers.
