If you have ~$50k saved up, you’ve always wanted to invest in property, and it’s a buyers market in real estate right now, is it a bad idea to invest in a rental property before taking a $100k loan for a 1 yr MBA? Or should I be throwing that $50k at the (sticker price) program?

That’s true but real estate is generally a long term hold play regardless

I had the same question! Curious what you decide
