Quote from @Chris Martin: At the end of the day, you are pledging an asset (stocks, in your example) for potential liquidity.

Thanks Chris.  

Quote from @Chris Seveney: @Don KonipolBeen mixedI have seen some where the person who runs it controls the agenda to push their guru course or sell some type of product.

Under the IRS rules, a person  qualifies as a real estate professional if: (1) more than one-half of the personal services the taxpayer performs in trades or businesses during the tax year are in real property trades or businesses in which the taxpayer materially participates, AND.....(2) hours spent providing personal services in real property trades or businesses in which the taxpayer materially participates total more than 750 during the tax year.Like @Greg Scott and @Russell Brazil mentioned above, I don't believe that you would qualify as a REPS, but if you are going to try it, make sure you document it very well (i.e. with some kind of proof, like time cards, mileage forms, and/or receipts, etc.) so that just in case you do get audited, you at least have something to provide to the IRS agent. 

@Nicholas L. and @Chris Seveney, I appreciate your viewpoints.
