I can sell 11 shares of Amazon stock to cover the cash needed and buy the property now or I can save up $30k over the next 12 months (definitely do-able for me) and put a down-payment on a property with saved cash.Pros/Cons that have come to mind in no particular order: If I wait to pay initial costs with saved cash and kept my Amazon shares:-I would avoid paying long term capital gains from selling 11 Amazon shares, estimated $5,000 in taxes (pro)-Interest rates could rise in the next 12 months requiring me to need more than $30k in cash for the FHA/buy a more expensive property (con)-Housing market could keep inflating over the next 12 months requiring me to need more than $30k in cash for the FHA/buy a more expensive property (con)If I sold Amazon shares now and purchased the property:-I could lock in an interest rate and refinance in the future if rates go down (pro)-I would start gaining at least $700 per month in cash flow over the next 10-11 months (pro)-Amazon stock could appreciate over the next 12 months while the real estate market could depreciate  (con)-I would incur about $5k in long term capital gains from selling my Amazon shares and I would also miss out on any future appreciate of those 11 shares (con)I tried to keep this as short as possible while including relevant info and things on my mind.

Hi Everyone, I signed a 3 year California Real Estate lease with my client last year before the reported inflation numbers and now I'm stuck.

The idea is interest rates will be higher in the future and inflation will continue.

The ones we're writing this year have a clause about inflation!

Or you have an investment that you think will outpace inflation you could move your capital into? 

Cash is losing money to inflation.

Hoping long term appreciation beats inflation which is one of my must haves for investing in such an asset.

However it may be a good opportunity to get in the game and ride inflation and appreciation.- Varsek

Not sure being that highly leveraged, especially with country heading into a recession, high inflation and tail end of long term housing boom, if it would be prudent to be borrowing $ at 100% LTV or anything close. 

Also the property under appraised, it was about $24,000 lower than contract/asking price, the appraiser took inflation into account and raised the value so that it was $8000 less than asking price.We were scheduled to close Tuesday, April 25.
