Personally I would not liquidate the stocks, just maybe only contribute a smaller amount to it on a monthly basis.As far as the car, I would pay it off from current income.

@Dominic Emory Maintaining your money's momentum is a challenge in the current market.Properties are not increasing in value by double digit percentages right now.So, it is a challenge to pull your funds back out of a property purchase.You'll have to be picky about the deals you pursue to pull it off.House-Hacking, living in a property whil improving & renting it, is one of the best strategies to get started.The more work a property needs => the better the price you should get!

So our skills are transferable our plan is to work part time or remote to maintain our income until we can safely retire from our investments.  

Hello @Kevin Mertus,Stocks, bonds, and CDs play a different role than real estate.StocksStocks are for capital accumulation.

The guy that turns on and off the lights in the P&G lobby has a couple million in stock.

The rental units or stocks/binds/cds/mmSimply talk with your banker or lending institution.1.  

It is a lot of work to set up and maintain even with a PM.

Especially if you are involved with cleaning and stocking, ect.  

Especially for Opportunity Funds that issue zone stock vs zone partnership.

You’re asking the classic “real estate vs. stocks” question — and the math really depends on how you look at it.
