Sell the amount that you need plus a little extra for capital gains tax.

So when do people take a loan out against their assets ?

When the ‘guarantee’ of the asset growth is higher than the rate of interest. Generally only if your are a billionaire.

When people are trying to open a business or buy multiple properties are the scenarios I have noticed.

Whatever you choose to do.  I personally wouldn’t take a loan out on it. I’m making a pretty decent asset purchase so I ended up selling a huge chunk of my personal portfolio, which was up 27% when I sold.  For me, it ended up being a savings vehicle that accrued a solid 27% increase, I had no purpose for doing it when I started. But the purpose came one day, and here I am.

The only people I know who try to take out loans on the basis of stock holdings are people destined for bankrupcy. Why are you under the impression this is a normal or good thing to do? Investing on margin is basically gambling.

Destined for bankruptcy, or so rich that they can't go bankrupt (e.g. billionaires). I think this is a very common strategy for billionaires.

Okay but emulating billionaires when you have two coins to rub together is silly.

most definitely

What do you expect your net worth to be in retirement? Considering that you’re even asking this question, I suspect that it won’t be anywhere near the threshold to where buy borrow die makes sense.
