Asset Allocation & Diversification: Real Assets & Paper Assets

[Yuuj V.]

Good Afternoon BP,

Hope this post finds everyone healthy during this wild time. 

I'm curious how others model their total portfolio's when using Real Estate, and how they come to their conclusions about allocations and diversification. 

To be transparent, I am invested in:

Retirement Accounts:

401K invested in a fund which is mimicking the S&P 500 Index. 

ROTH IRA invested in a fund which is mimicking the S&P 500 Index.

Taxable Accounts:

Invested in the Index that follows the Total US Stock Market index. 

Invested in publicly traded REIT's and other companies.

Alternative Investments:

Invested in Crowdfunded REIT's (Fundrise, Diversyfund, RealtyMogul) as examples.

Hard Asset Investments:

Physical Real Estate. 

My current asset allocations are:

• Retirement Accounts: 32%
• Brokerage Account: 23%
• Alternative Investments: 7%
• Hard Asset Investments: 38%

This was not by design, this was just how it ended up. I try to keep a 70%/30% allocation between Non-Traded Crowdfunded REIT's and the Stock Market (excluded retirement accounts). Ratio is skewed at the moment as I been dropping excess cash into the markets to take advantage of cheap index shares. But I will rebalance and get it ideal later in the year.

I have 0 bonds or treasuries in my portfolio, all 100% equities. (Some would say that is stupid and dumb, but I am still at my growth stage and not fearful of market drops like we are having now) 

Now with my added hard asset(s), I'm having a hard time trying to figure out, what would be an ideal ratio, or allocation split, between Equities (Stocks), Bonds and Physical Hard Real Estate, with Non-Traded Growth / Income REIT's?

How do you all structure yourselves? How do you look at your portfolio's of total assets (paper and physical)? Just curious how other investors are modeling their portfolio's and what metrics or criteria you use. I'm honestly just saving capital until I see a great deal on a house, while still passively investing into the Stock Market through retirement accounts and my own taxable brokerage while still dropping cash into Non-Traded REIT's in order to have a balance during volatile times in the stock market.

Looking forward to everyones thoughts!
