This week’s question comes from Ben, who actually direct messaged Ashley and asked her a pretty personal question. **Ben **is asking: As someone with student debt, should I start investing in rentals or wait until I’ve paid off my student loans)?
It goes without saying that this is a very personal question, especially since it has to do with personal (not business related) debt. Everyone is different in their willingness to take on debt. While some people don’t mind having lots of low interest debt, others want to get rid of it as fast as possible. Both Tony and Ashley have had student loans while building a rental portfolio, so they’ve had to ask themselves this question as well.
Here are some suggestions:
Make sure you **pay off all **high-interest debt) first before you start investing
Use methods like** partnerships, BRRRR investing), and other **low/no money down options)
Ask yourself whether or not the future cash flow can help you pay off your debts
Never put yourself in a position where you’ll feel anxious while investing
