Impressive gain on the house! If you didn't exercise the options, do you mean you lost out on the opportunity for 30k?

Are you tapping into the value of your home with a mortgage? Otherwise, it seems like that's even less liquid than private stock (unless you move out.)

The 30k was from lost stock.

I did tap into the value recently. It's more liquid compared to most private stock but nowhere as liquid as public stock.

The one advantage is all profits on the house are tax free.
