Considering recent market insights, reallocating your $300K brokerage account into a multifamily property while keeping your townhouse rented could be advantageous.Warren Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway has accumulated a record amount of cash, suggesting a cautious stance due to potential market overvaluation.
