In this episode, Stuart explores the concept of jumbo property investing: should you go all-in on a single high-value property or spread your investment across multiple, smaller properties? With average investment loans climbing past $600,000, many Australians face the question of whether to concentrate their budget or diversify. Stuart breaks down why a “jumbo” investment – such as buying a $3 million home in a high-demand area – might yield higher returns due to scarcity and alternative uses, like potential redevelopment. However, jumbo investing isn’t without risks, from fluctuating holding costs to limited flexibility if financial situations change.

Stuart also shares a real-world example of a client who purchased a unique property in Melbourne’s Prahran neighbourhood, turning it into a highly profitable investment. And while this approach may not be for everyone, Stuart’s insights on quality over quantity, understanding market demand, and avoiding limiting beliefs apply to all investors. Whether you’re a seasoned property investor or just beginning, this episode unpacks the risks, rewards, and essential strategies behind high-value property investing. Tune in to discover if jumbo property investing could be your path to greater returns and a robust property portfolio.
