In this episode, Stuart Wemyss dives into the key strategies for maximising property investment returns by striking the right balance between holding costs and capital growth. Discover why compounding capital growth is the real driver of wealth accumulation and how to avoid common pitfalls of focusing too much on rental income.

Stuart explains the concept of the internal rate of return (IRR) and how it measures the relationship between your investment and return. Using real-world examples, he compares the outcomes of different property types, highlighting why high-growth, low-yield properties often outperform others in long-term wealth creation.

You’ll learn a practical two-step approach to maximise your IRR: first, by selecting a property with strong capital growth potential, and second, by taking steps to reduce holding costs. Stuart also shares a personal case study where simple cosmetic upgrades significantly boosted a property’s value, rental income, and IRR.

If you’re serious about building wealth through property, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you choose the right asset, optimise returns, and accelerate your financial independence. Tune in to learn how to make smarter property investment decisions!
