My question: How do you treat investment real estate in the overall balancing of your portfolio? Does real estate act similarly to bonds as an overall buffer to the volatility of stocks?
Our investment real estate currently makes up 75% of our overall portfolio, and fully funds our retirement. Therefore, should we remain in a more aggressive posture for our invested funds - perhaps 80/20? Allocating more to bonds, when we are not using those funds to fund the retirement, seems like we would be wasting potential growth.
Thanks in advance for your insights!
