Just for fun, I attached the before and current state photos of my current flip.

I'm going to exclude my personal residence from this because I don't view this as an investment, I need a place to live.Excluding my primary residence my current breakdown is 47% real estate 53% stocks/cash. 

I’m debating whether to furnish the shared areas or just stage them for photos and viewings.

Hey @Rereloluwa Fatunmbi, so there are a few things I would do right away.First, you have photos of your dishware.

Obviously you jam it all in the stock market for 11%.

There is no stock account that gives the leverage real estate does, at as low interest rate real estate does, at as low risk/ volatility real estate does. 

I don't think enough people consider this aspect.Selling Stock: Selling part of your portfolio could work, but the 15% capital gains tax might make this an expensive choice unless the stock has underperformed or you’re diversifying away from riskier investments.HELOC: Using a HELOC on an existing property is a flexible and relatively low-cost option.

Ask them to update your photos and put your best foot forward.If the market is doing well and your PM is marketing poorly, then you have a case for complaint and/or moving to a new manager.

I have been investing in the stock market for 5 years and I am now transitioning over to real estate after doing my research on real estate for the past two years. 

Careful in the Stock Market, seems great on it's upward trajectory however...
