So you could buy on the equity markets a 'put' (option to sell the investment at a net gain, if the market turns down) or a future (locked-in price for the home market index in your metro region) for 9 nine out to protect much of the downside, like insurance.It looks straightforward enough to buy options "insurance" - some volatility like stocks but well within the realm of rational investing - not a gimmick.

I'd probably immediately cash in for USD though, given the volatility of BTC.

@Vala Shahabi  Thanks for the input that makes a lot of sense looking into which markets are up and coming but no too volatile.

It is too volatile to me.

Many of my clients buying commercial real estate are exiting stocks and liquidating to cash because they feel the stock market it volatile and could dip back at any moment.

How volatile the investment is independently of how it financed5.

I am comfortable with the certainty of accepting risk and volatility in my future endeavors.

Realty is rates from month to month are not that volatile.

But it seems the couple of life lines which has feed into the rosy picture, rent potential and stabilized values are just as likely to be volatile elements as this is still new territory for the US.

John Corey thank you for your reply.Our area real estate market, as most in the US, is extremely dry as well as volatile.
