Stocking your Airbnb is an opportunity to create a standout guest experience.

however, it is not as passive as stock or as liquid as stocks.   

I'm going to exclude my personal residence from this because I don't view this as an investment, I need a place to live.Excluding my primary residence my current breakdown is 47% real estate 53% stocks/cash. 

Obviously you jam it all in the stock market for 11%.

There is no stock account that gives the leverage real estate does, at as low interest rate real estate does, at as low risk/ volatility real estate does. 

I don't think enough people consider this aspect.Selling Stock: Selling part of your portfolio could work, but the 15% capital gains tax might make this an expensive choice unless the stock has underperformed or you’re diversifying away from riskier investments.HELOC: Using a HELOC on an existing property is a flexible and relatively low-cost option.

I have been investing in the stock market for 5 years and I am now transitioning over to real estate after doing my research on real estate for the past two years. 

Careful in the Stock Market, seems great on it's upward trajectory however...

You’ll get a better return over the long-term by putting your money in the stock market.

If you don’t pay the tax when you transfer the stock to them they’re going to owe the taxes on your gain and you haven’t really “paid them back”.
