Pizza and Property
Intro
Todd introduces the Cairns unit case study, guest Simon Loo, episode themes (yield vs reality) and a sponsor mention, and sets up the deal-or-no-deal teardown.
Are High Yields and Low Prices Enough to Make It a Deal?
Is a 10% rental yield really as good as it sounds? In this episode, Todd sits down with property expert Simon Loo to break down a Cairns unit that looks like a tempting deal on paper—but turns out to be far from it.
We dive into the numbers, uncovering the hidden costs, risks, and market volatility that make this type of property more of a trap than an opportunity.
From high strata fees to financing challenges, Simon explains why some properties should be avoided no matter how good the yield appears. If you’re serious about building a strong property portfolio, this episode is a must-listen. Learn why chasing “cheap and cheerful” deals can backfire, and discover what to focus on instead for long-term success.
