About this episode

With cooling market conditions, tax changes and another rate rise expected this year, uncomfortable decisions are starting to surface for many investors.  In this jam-packed Q&A Day, Ben is joined by Couch Crew, Ben Thompson (QPIA) and Shane Pope (Buyers Agent), to tackle four real scenarios facing property investors right now. Should you sell a good property when cash flow gets tight?  Have recent tax changes fundamentally changed the investment equation?  What happens when the regional portfolio you built to eventually buy your dream home starts falling behind?  And can you realistically wipe out your home loan in five years?Plus, Ben opens the episode with an important warning about the hype, false scarcity and short-term promises appearing in parts of the buyer’s agent industry , and why changing market conditions could expose investors who bought speculation rather than quality. From cash buffers and debt reduction to fear of messing up, portfolio exits and knowing when to seek professional advice, this episode is about making the invisible visible before making your next big financial move.
