Will Melbourne Kill Your Portfolio Growth? Here's What You Need to Know! Is Melbourne really the golden ticket for your property portfolio—or could it end up costing you big?
In this episode, Todd Sloan is joined by Simon Loo, property investment expert from House Finder, to unpack the double-edged nature of Melbourne’s property market. From its global prestige and emotional appeal to the risks of stagnant growth, high land taxes, and cash flow challenges, they break down what every investor needs to know before jumping in.
Simon shares real-life examples of Melbourne deals and explains how to balance yield and growth potential by diversifying across cities. They explore the importance of “holdability” in sustaining a portfolio and why cities like Perth may offer stronger growth and better returns compared to Melbourne.
Whether you’re new to investing or adding to your portfolio, this episode offers practical strategies, cautionary tales, and a grounded outlook on Melbourne’s future. Tune in and learn how to spot growth opportunities, manage risk, and create a sustainable investment strategy that works in any market.
