Q&A: What to do if most of your wealth is in property; update home or invest?

In this Q&A episode, Stuart tackles one of the most pressing challenges facing many Australians today: how to make smart financial moves when most of your wealth is tied up in property. He explores the tension between long-term investment strategy and short-term lifestyle pressure, helping listeners find a better balance between financial progress and personal well-being. From assessing whether a self-managed super fund (SMSF) is a wise move to managing multiple investment properties with tight cash flow, Stuart offers clear, strategic thinking on how to future-proof your finances while reducing financial stress.

He also delves into key questions like whether to upgrade your home or invest further, how to think about property versus shares in a changing market, and the value of liquidity and flexibility as you approach retirement. Throughout, Stuart keeps the focus practical and empathetic, guiding listeners through complex decisions with clarity and a long-term lens.

If you’re trying to decide what to do with your next investment dollar, wondering whether to hold or sell, or simply aiming for more freedom without sacrificing your financial future, this episode is packed with insights to help you move forward with confidence.
