David Cassidy has pleaded with the Judge to allow him to auction off his Florida home to help pay off his back debt according to a Tuesday, June 30 report from MSN.

The former teen idol filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy earlier this year revealing in a court document that while he had $3,714,913 in assets, he owed $2,143,367.97 in liabilities.
If he was going to be able to pay back his debts, he needed to liquify some of his assets, which include property in the Bahamas, cars, furniture, but only about $3k in cash. David Cassidy bought the six-bedroom house in 2001 for $1.1 million. The luxury home has a swimming pool and a boat dock. The house is set to go on the market on Sept. 9. Fisher Auction Company has been overseeing the sale in which bidders must prequalify to participate in the auction.
