I run a property management business here in Colorado Springs and have seen this situation many times over.If your goal is to build wealth, then I would not suggest selling the home.

Fast forward to now, a fresh 24-year-old, recently booted from my cushy W-2 job paying $80k/year, left to ponder the meaning of life and the potential of my bank account.Now, I find myself in the trenches of self-employment at my buddy's small business lending firm, with a 1099 in one hand and $75k in student loan debt in the other.

The worst they can say is No and you can continue business as usual.
