Sounds like I've got quite a bit of research to do. How big of a difference are there between the two scenarios below? AKA how badly do I get punished for two sales in Scenario 1 vs only one in Scenario 2?
1. Sell holdings
2. Invest in Vanguard fund
3. Sell $X to put down payment on home
vs:
1. Maintain holdings for now while I figure out house situation
2. Sell holdings
3. Put $X towards house, invest $Y in Vanguard
Thank you all again for your inputs, I hope I'm not abusing this thread.
