I have about 75-80% of my investments in the stock market in one way or another and looking to diversify.

And I'm not entirely sure why - I still invest in real estate and my other properties are performing quite well, and REITs have been outperforming the stock market over the last few years.

I used the long-term historical stock market ROI of 8% for option 1 and 11% for option 2 (rental CF).

I actually thought about getting some stock pantry drawers and placing those in the closet.

In addition, the stock market has really been rallying this first part of the year, although that is obviously more speculative.  

I have been investing in the stock market for almost a decade, and now I want to diversify my investments.

This decline was driven by consumers concerned about deteriorating stock holdings, business conditions (plunged 16%) and expectations over personal finances (fell 8%), reflecting ongoing concerns about inflation and uncertainty over headline news abroad.

In my mind, it's a place with older housing stock and a few blighted properties, but in an area I would probably not care to be a landlord.

They will pay high prices to meet needs that are not income producing - they are shopping for a different product that is provided from the same stock that our income properties come from.2. having deep enough knowledge of the neighborhoods to allow us to recognize a good deal takes a lot of time.

(Only 4.5% of housing stock can be NOO STRs.)
