547 | Sell or Hold? Retirement, Rooming Houses & Real Regret-Free Decisions


Listen Later

What would you do if your investment property hadn’t moved in value in six years… but your gut said, “Just hang in there a bit longer”? 

In this week’s Q&A episode, we’re answering four big listener questions — and unpacking some of the trickiest real-life property dilemmas out there today:    

Here’s what we answer:  

🔹 Sam is stuck with a unit in Penrith that’s underperformed for years. Should he sell and start fresh — or is it worth holding for Western Sydney’s future growth?   

🔹 Scott is in his mid-50s with a $2M home, healthy super, and a positively geared investment property in Logan. He’s downsizing soon… but is his plan the right one? 

🔹 Ethan, a past guest, just lost a property to demolition — and he’s now looking into rooming houses. High yield, low vacancy… but what’s the catch? 

🔹 Viv owns four rooming houses returning 10%, but wants to know: Can she exit smoothly, or will semi-commercial status tie her hands in retirement? 

Whether you’re navigating poor-performing properties or plotting your next big pivot — this one’s packed with practical, real-world advice. Listen now!
