Refi the student loans to 3% and save the cash for investments.

Depends on the rate, but generally speaking I wouldn’t aggressively pay it off. You’re more likely to get better return than your rate.

Depending on your financial situation. If you have no other things to pay off. I would pay the student loan and invest some of the money to pay back down the line.

Look up Dave Ramsey's podcast

What’s the interest rate ?

Zero through the end of this year; usually ~6.6%.

I’d dump it in an index fund until year end then use it any ant gains to pay it off.

If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
