An odd question, but what would a responsible RE investors consider to be a good % of the value (market price, not equity) of your primary residence compared to their total net worth? Example: For quick & easy math, let's say an investor has a net worth of $1 Million, should they be looking at primary residences worth $300K (30% of NW) $800K (80%) and so on. I know there's not a golden rule for this and it varies by a person's lifestyle, and life priorities, I'm just curious what % some of you are running at.
