Upgrade Your Home or Buy an Investment Property?

Upgrading your home feels right… but it might be costing you hundreds of thousands in the long run. In this episode, we break down the real wealth trade-off between owner-occupied homes and investment properties, including how equity is used to invest, the impact of debt and cashflow, rental income vs no income assets, and a real scenario showing how holding your home and buying an investment property could leave you ~$670K better off over time. If you want to map out whether upgrading or investing actually puts you in a stronger financial position, our team at Lighthouse can build a plan around your numbers and goals. https://lighthousefinancial.co.nz/wealth/ For more money tips follow us on: Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/lighthousefinancialnz/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/lighthousefinancialnz/ The content in this podcast is the opinion of the hosts.
