Looking for opinions from the inmates.

I'm thinking about buying an investment property with my father. 50/50 split. There would be no mortgage involved. Here's the question. Should I liquidate 50% of my metals position to do this deal?

Pros:

• It would provide income every year.
• The property would be maintained by my father who currently maintains another rental property he has.
• It's in a location that is going to see much growth within the next 5 years.
• It could also serve as a home for my family if we both lost our jobs...etc.
• This is the ONLY person in the world I would consider doing this with.

Cons:

• I would have to liquidate 50% of my metals position.
• Most likely, I wouldn't be able to extract myself (if I wanted or needed to) for 5 years.
• I would have additional exposure personally.

Thoughts?
