My first house appraised for less than what we were paying for it. Not a lot, but more than we really had access to. My grandfather spotted the difference. So whole it's true I worked hard, it's little moments of privilege like that that really helped put me where I am today. I think folks in my position tend to over look it often. I'm 33 now. I think I'd still own a house, but all of this stuff compounds into each other. I would've had to pay exorbitant rent longer at an apartment complex. When I ended up selling that house I wouldn't have gotten that extra year's worth (or however long) back. It would've been less money to invest. It would probably mean we couldn't have bought as nice of a new house when we moved. All these little extra things from a family member being able to help spot the difference between the first appraisal and loan.
