Quick poll: just Yes or NoI have a managed account with chase that has been growing with the stock market.

@Kalen AdamsonNot tax advice as a cpa can respond but typically when you cash in stocks that gain is taxed (if owned for a while at qualified dividend rate).You could take the cash, hold money for taxes and put that money as a contribution to the LLC and then start investing in real estateIf you invest in real estate you may get depreciation etc whixh could be paper loss and potential reduce tax obligation but the entire picture needs to be looked at

I've never used one, but I think the advisor will put you in the "major" stocks, just like it was recommended to do an index fund. 

Its like the stock market.

The only time one of my hot tubs was unusable by a guest was due to the heating element going out and there wasn't one in stock.  

I have non qualified stock options through my W2 employer now that has potential in about 5-8 years to exercise.

TLDR; Why should an out-of-state investor buy a rental property in Austin instead of investing in stocks/index funds?

As I mentioned, these are the same disparities as in the US but, as you mentioned and as everybody knows, the level of violence in the US is much less indeed.Don't take my word for anything but Mexico's real estate is on fire (and American buyers are a driving force) and so is stock market.

hello everyone, i am 22 and the past several years i solely invested in the stock market which i have grown to a portfolio of 275k but i have always listened and been learning about real estate. i am now wanting to pivot to diversify and get my first property. thing is im stuck and having a hard time trying to decide what to do.

Honestly I’d probably end up diversifying sales proceeds into stocks and some into DSTs to broaden my base.
