Property investment is great when everything is chugging along nicely…but what happens when the economy takes a turn for the worse? A crash may not happen soon, but we know it will come at some point – so what can we do to prepare ourselves?
In this episode we cover:
- Looking to history to see what the next crash might look like…what must we prepare for
- How the 18 year property cycle can help you anticipate what’s coming
- 5 ways to prepare…none of which require drastic de-leveraging
Although we try to be measured and sound a note of caution whenever we get excited about investment, leverage and growth, we thought it was well worth dedicating a whole episode to protecting your downside. This is a real must-listen…and although the subject matter sounds grim, we think you’ll go away realising that you have a lot more control over the situation than you might have thought.
