I’m a 30-year-old investor holding roughly $120K in ETFs. With a mandatory 20% down payment for a condo, a near-total liquidation of my assets is needed. Has anyone else navigated this situation?
i ended up selling some of my investments too. the risk was scary, but i needed a roof over my head. market ups nad downs are normal, so do your homework and maybe chat with a pro. good luck!
I was in a comparable situation a few years ago where the need for home ownership outweighed continued investment momentum. The decision was difficult, not least because it was hard to watch market conditions shift positively while liquidating assets. I took the plunge partly to secure your preferable living arrangement while accepting the longer-term financial trade-offs. From my experience, thorough financial planning and consultation with professionals beforehand proved indispensable in balancing immediate needs with future financial health.
My situation wasn’t exactly the same but echoed that dilemma. Liquidation was nerve-wracking yet felt necessary. I wonder—did you explore creative financing options before selling everything completely? I’d be curious to know how you balanced keeping investments versus ensuring a roof overhead.
