Using stocks as collateral for a down payment

Hello,

We are planning to buy a 500,000 home. We have 100,000 in stocks we could sell for the down payment. We’d have to pay capital gains if we do and lose any future market growth.

However, our bank is allowing us to use the stocks as collateral and avoid PMI. They would still be invested but I can’t sell them until the balance is paid down.

So we’d put nothing down, with a full 500,000 loan.

From what I understand this would mean a higher monthly payment, but keeping myself invested in the market while avoiding taxes.

Good idea? Or am I gonna lose out on interest because the loan amount is higher

Edit: pledged asset loan

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...
