Might also try one of the stock brokerages that has intl offices as well like Schwab or Fidelity.I would also get it here in the bank account and ready to spend, before you do much work with them. 

The issue lies within the inability to currently afford a bigger house in the area we live.My W-2 issues annual stock distributions and I just received my first one (40K).

If you are able to make an age related withdrawal or a loan from your 401k those could be good options since the stock market is currently at all time highs. 

I also take pesos, gold, silver, cars, motorcycles, trade houses, airplanes, stocks, bonds.... etc... to piece a deal together and get paid!

@Brittane Jenkins  A few other somewhat creative ways: 401k loan (if you're comfortable with that), margin account on your stock investments, seller financing for the downpayment (usually has to be done with a business or commercial loan for the remaining part of the loan).

You have the same if not greater interest rate risk with a trade.Real estate is not the stock market and the hardest thing for some people is often to do nothing for decades, but that is where the money is made.

Inflation isn't dead; I think the Fed capitulated.  

I would just feel like a dead weight and once they has the info they could ghost me. 

Timing economic condutions has proven futile whether stocks, futures, or real estate.enjoy the ride friends. 

However, North SJ is not completely dead for STR.
