Student loans at about 4.1% or house loan at about 5.2%?


I'd pay extra to the house note, although you aren't talking about a life-altering decision either way.

It isn't so much because the house note has a higher rate, it's because since you plan to sell in a couple of years. A guaranteed 5% return for two years is a hell of a deal these days.

I hear ya. But if it's money that would have gone to student loans instead, it's just an improvement of 1.1%, so I was wondering if some other factor in this decision was more important.
