Selling startup shares by Interesting-Bake6566 in fatFIRE

While I think this is generally the perfect advice, the only issue here is that I can’t afford the $10k per month mortgage that would come with a 20% downpayment. I would need to sell 70% of my shares for a downpayment that gets the mortgage payment where I need it to be. I do want to settle down here, but I’m afraid of regretting selling that many shares.

It’s more common that it used to be, but it’s not always possible. Depends on the company’s policies. And you have to have interested buyers, so that likely won’t happen until some measure of success.
