Wealth Extraction Strategies

Extracting wealth from a property portfolio can be accomplished through various strategies. Selling a property can provide immediate funds, but this approach eliminates ongoing income from rental yields. A more advantageous method is leveraging equity in existing properties without selling, allowing owners to borrow against increased property value. This tactic enables individuals to access tax-free funds, as borrowed money is not taxable, which can facilitate financial growth without parting with investment properties.
