No offense to my real estate agents friends here but thinking out loud.Also, based on my little experience in Blockchain, I am sure that day is not far when we won’t be needing a tittle company and maybe an agent too to sell a house.

Stocks very close to overvalued if not already, bonds stink in a rising interest rate environment, real estate is risky now(home prices bounced well above the trend line)and way below normal on yield.R.e. notes may be the only thing to consider unless you are brave enough for bitcoin 

Over the weekend I attended the Real Estate, Bitcoin and Wealth Expo in Toronto (which ultimately led me to this site).

(disclaimer- this money these rentals give would have to be looked at as long term buy and holds and higher risk as its not my specialty and I cant even time the real estate market let alone a stock market or crypto/blockchain). ;) 

Try bitcoin

You can't walk into your bank and ask for a loan to buy bitcoin or invest in the stock market.

I missed out on the crash entirely...but then, I missed the Bitcoin craze too.

Sell your stocks and bitcoins to get the down payment. 

If it is 3 months and your company isn't the next Bitcoin startup, then follow @Bill F. advice (you can be safe and go long put options to protect your downside).

The only way it could make sense is if you can rent a place for significantly less per month and then invest the saved money some place else with higher returns (multi family, stocks, bitcoin, ...).
