Probably not, since loans in default would bring down your credit score. Plus, you wouldn't be eligible for a government-sponsored loan like FHA if you are in default on a government-sponsored student loan.

Borrowers with federal student loans in default cannot qualify for government loans until the student loan is back in good standings. They will not clear CAVAIRS.
