Never sell a property?

“Never sell a property” is the default advice that tends to get dished out to investors, and under many circumstances that makes sense…but it’s helpful to consider situations where selling might make sense.

In this episode we explore the reasons why “never sell” often makes sense, and when it doesn’t. Including:

• Playing the property cycle to beat average returns
• Offloading dud deals to make money work harder elsewhere
• Dealing with changes in personal and tax circumstances

So should you sell a property? It depends – some people’s strategies rely on it, while others would never dream of doing so. All that matters is what works for you, but you’ll make better decisions by at least understanding and considering both sides of the argument.

As you’d expect, this all ties into our discussion of the 18 year property cycle – if you want a refresher on the idea, Episode 69 is the place to start.
