I am in a very similar boat to Hog, I have a pretty large investment in Real Estate. Even if housing prices tumble most of my properties were purchased during the previous housing crash.
I had sold off all of my holdings in my brokerage account late last year to take a different approach to investing. I started buying Dividend stocks on large dips in an effort to maximize income. Currently I only have about 40% of my cash reinvested. So I have not been hurt by the market tumble. For me this is a great buying opportunity.
