Make sure you set aside enough money that you can avoid PMI on the next home loan. Otherwise pay off student loan.

This, but to take it a step further, also look into Roth IRA/traditional IRA/stock/bond options. If you go the stock option, be sure to do a proper valuation of the company's stock to see if it's under/over-valued (https://www.sec.gov & https://finance.yahoo.com). If you go the bond option, look for one that's non-callable at least until you want to pull it out as a down on the next house (https://www.finra.org & https://www.morningstar.com/bonds.html). If you're not sure about how the whole stock/bond thing works, it's best to go to a bank and talk to a financial advisor. Also, you can peruse this thread to get a feel for the lingo: https://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=3259986&userid=0&perpage=40&pagenumber=933
