Hey Alex,This is a great question and really depends on your timeline.If you think you're unsure to the point where you'll sit our for a while you'll probably want to put your money safer, longer-term investments.If you're thinking about jumping in soon you might want to keep that cash on hand or in assets that can easily be liquidated to be able to make the move when the time comes.You can consider some higher risk/reward investments based on your comfort but I'd recommend minimizing the percentage of your portfolio you expose to those asset classes.Best of luck!
