Pay off Bad Debt or Start Investing?!

[Richard Xiong]

Hello BP! I need some advice! I recently sold my primary home to start my investing career. Before I do I was hoping to get some feedback on what to do first. Do I pay off my bad debt first and recoup my capital by cash flow stacking? (Which will take approx 3.5 years). By paying off my bad debt I will tie up half of my capital. Or do I utilize my capital I have now to invest and use the profits to pay off the bad debt? I know Rich Dad would probably want me to get rid of bad debt before investing but just wanted to see what experienced investors had to say.
