[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP again I’m on my phone and accidentally posted too early with a mistype. The monthly payment would be too large on a 1M house with 20% down for my taste. I was thinking of liquidating my brokerage to combine with my current equity to approach 500k cash down payment. Capital gains tax would only be about 5k because my cost basis is high. Would you sell all your stocks to help pay for a house in my situation?[/quote] Why is the cost basis so high when almost everything went up 100% last year? When did you buy and what did you buy? Maybe it's yet to have its run(small cap). My one stock went up 15% just today. This is not the time to empty your brokerage. If any, revisit your investment strategy. Why have a lifestyle creep before baby number two? The baby can't tell the difference between townhouse and single family house. Also, who buys a car, cash or not, before they want to buy a million dollar house. [/quote]
