That seems like a pretty rational approach for attempting to quantify them as assets.I took 20% as 6% transaction costs + 2% real estate taxes that traditionally seller pays when selling home in NJ , and the 13% losses that BND experienced in 2022. That is actually 21% but we aren't / I am not really getting the accuracy down to the penny.Interesting approach. I can kind of see doing something like that.I would discount the value of homes by about 20% (to account for transaction costs), and then consider the resulting value to be my bond holding.
Not really sure if 20% would be the correct discount amount.
Certainly they are way less liquid than any bond holdings...
But I'm still having difficulty seeing them fitting very well into the "bond/cash" category.
The main stickler seems to be the "all or nothing" nature if ever needing to sell them.
