As fund managers, it's important to have a historical perspective when it comes to investment strategies and where we allocate our money.

Asset allocation is critical to an "all weather" portfolio.

To know the bottom line of each property - if you are only flipping properties, you will have expenses not allocated to a specific property.

@Logan Allec nailed it with the allocating the expenses between personal and rental.

Hi Mike, I believe you could purchase a property on which you reside and also have an investment property, but you would have to do a reasonable allocation between the two and two separate sets of accounting.

So I think it’s about allocating some to stocks some to real estate some to whatever other businesses you want to invest in.

Lets look at some rough numbers.If you bought for 400k, and we allocate 25k to land.

Structure and allocation will be key to how you do it.  

@Jason Moran, if your funds are not eligible for transfer, consider contributing less (perhaps enough to secure matching funds if they are offered), and allocating your investments toward the safest investments from what is available.
