Student loan debt continues to be an issue for some college graduates who dream of buying a home but are juggling high post-college student debt.

“The thing that’s really sad about this is that we are, particularly in the Chicago market, at an all-time high of affordability. Interest rates are so low, that you’re able to buy much more of a house. However, if your available funds are being depleted because you’re servicing student debt, you’re losing out on this opportunity.” – David Zwarycz, broker associate at @properties.
