Should I invest in property?

There are lots of ways to grow wealth – shares, bonds, term deposits, even crypto.

But property lets you leverage your money in ways those other asset classes can’t:

  • Use the bank’s money to invest in a bigger asset
  • Use the equity in your own home to get started
  • Use your tenant’s rent to cover most of the cost

That’s the power of leverage. It’s not just about higher returns — it’s about amplifying your money using other people’s.

Just remember it also amplifies the downsides. Keep that in mind before you rush off and blindly invest.
