should i pay off my student loan before buying a house?
user
paying off your student loan before buying a house is certainly a great risk reduction move for you. it will lower your debt to income ratio allowing your mortgage approval to go easier and it will free up more of your dollars to pay for the many miscellaneous projects that come with buying a house. i think that if you are considering paying off your student loan before buying a house that means that your student loans are an amount you can fathom paying off and that you are motivated to be rid of your student loan debt.   go for it and pay off your student loan.
