Honestly, $300 under market rent isn't even that much.
As a landlord myself, asking for market rent from a solid tenant is silly.
The only times i've heard of landlords asking for more than the allowed amount is when the rent is like really low.
I'm looking for a tenant right now as my rental unit came up and i'm at least $300-400 below market rent because I want as many applicants as possible so I can pick and choose who I want.
That being said, it's not against RTA to ask.
Also, what is your advisor telling you to invest into? I would not be investing in real estate right now and I don't think it's a good idea to invest in the stock market on credit. The only investment I think I would invest on credit is a Mortgage Investment Corporation (MIC). If you can get a HELOC for 5% and find a MIC that pays 8-10%, I feel like MIC's are pretty safe. Even then, I probably wouldn't do it on credit.
