When should capital growth stop being your main goal?

In this episode of Perth Property Insider, I answer that simple question (with big stakes). Growth builds your asset base, and it deserves respect. But if you keep investing the same way forever, you can end up with a portfolio that looks great on paper and doesn’t support the life you built it for.

You’ll hear the three stages of a property investment strategy, and what you must do differently at each stage and why. I also share why I’m saying no to great deals right now, and the stage I’m in that makes that the right call.

I also cover the five signs growth may no longer be your number one priority. Some are obvious, but one gets overlooked by investors who are proud of how many properties they own. And I flip it around to warn younger investors about the opposite mistake.

Finally, I give you five questions to test where your property portfolio should go next. That includes the one I ask about every property: if I didn’t own it today, would I buy it again? Another covers a cost most people forget when they plan for retirement.

Whether you’re building, consolidating, or planning to work less, hit play now, and find out if your portfolio is still doing the right job.

Tune in to discover:

✅ The three stages every property portfolio moves through, and how to tell which one you’re in right now
✅ Why I’m saying “no” to great deals that land on my desk every day
✅ How two investors of the same age can need completely opposite strategies
✅ The one sign you may already own enough property to reach your goal
✅ When paying off $500,000 of debt could do more for your lifestyle than $500,000 of growth
✅ The retirement cost most people forget to plan for (and why it matters for your debt today)
