Your accountant likes the ownership structure. Your broker can arrange the loan. Your property looks promising. But has anyone checked whether the whole plan still lets you work less and live more?
In this next chapter of my Property W.E.A.L.T.H. L for Leverage series, I put your core property team on trial. Last episode was about choosing the right experts. This one is about making sure their advice works together before you commit.
Through fictional investors Alex and Jo, we compare two $850,000 property packages with very different holding costs. We examine how acquisition funding, tax timing, debt repayment and lender release conditions can change the outcome, and why a bigger sale cheque doesn't necessarily mean a bigger win.
We also bring in the financial planner's perspective. Because building wealth on paper is one thing; having accessible money when you want to step back from work is another.
There's Dave's kitchen testimony, a home loan watching Seinfeld and the ever elusive “Someone Should” avoiding the summons. But beneath the laughs is a serious lesson: your specialists need to work from the same facts, understand their responsibilities and build a strategy around the life you actually want.
We'll finish with the verdict: buy, amend, wait or walk. Because sometimes the best professional advice is to do nothing until the numbers make sense.
