Stella Guan

Stella Guan, 33, is a resident of Los Angeles who purchased her home in 2021 with hopes of establishing a stable foundation for her freelance career. However, her dream quickly turned into a financial burden when she discovered the house contained black mold and asbestos, forcing her to spend $50,000 on urgent repairs. This unexpected expense disrupted her financial planning and led her to sell the house at a $100,000 loss, ultimately opting for a nomadic lifestyle instead of homeownership.
