2030 stock market losses ... slackers ... mortgage payoff

Member since 2022 · 13 posts · 0 votes

Hi BP, my concerns (fears) are about 2023, unemployment, and ability to quicken up mortgage paydown:

> my whole stock portfolio is only totalling a 1.01% gain, and likely in 2023 the politically propped up stock market will drop and i'll be worse negative in stock market

> slackers ... the current unemployment game, will slackers prefer to not pay rent, and this would affect paying down mortgage - as i'm trying to find a new tenant

> i'm thinking if i take my weak $50,000 stock portfolio to pay down my 5% mortgage on 2-unit rental, then i will be gaining 5% interest = $24000 savings, and shorten mortgage by 10 years.     And, that $24000 is gettter gains than stock market

Should I pay down mortgage to feel like i am making gains somewhere?

Should i put weak stock portfolio money elsewhere to making better return on investment?

    What is your liquidity situation like?

    This is never a one size fits all. You could invest in something and get 6-8%+ and have a little more liquidity than paying down your mortgage which provides also no liquidity

    In the same breath never see a person go broke who owned real estate with no mortgage.

    It really comes down to a personal choice

    Thank You Chris for replying to post :)

    I'm challenged to find 6-8% where so many funds have high entry fees now and higher management fees.
    ...Am i too crowded by the trees that i cannot see beyond the forest?
    ...the doom and gloomers & clikcbait negative-news influencers have gotten me seeing foggy on a clear day
