Some investors own properties worth millions and still stress about restaurant bills. If you can't eat capital growth, what's the point of having it? The answer changes how you should think about buil

A property sitting below street level might look private and sheltered. It might also be collecting every drop of water from three neighbouring blocks. Here's how to tell the difference before you han
Capital used to trap Millennials with mortgages and car loans. The playbook for Gen Z is far more sophisticated. If you have kids born after 2000, or if you are under 25 yourself, these three traps ar
Knowing when to buy makes you money. Knowing when to sell keeps it. Here are the only three scenarios where selling your investment property actually makes sense — and the one metric that trumps them
I have clients who can afford to pay cash for investment property. And I talk every single one of them out of it. Not because borrowing is fun. Because the maths makes paying cash genuinely irrational
