What would you do if your investment property dropped nearly $200,000 in value? In this episode, Ed and Andrew tackle one of the toughest calls an investor can face – whether to sell at a loss or hold on and ride it out.

You’ll hear about a real listener who bought a new-build in Kāpiti Coast that’s now worth $196,000 less than he paid. Instead of leaving the market altogether, he’s asking: _should I sell this property and reinvest in Auckland?_You’ll learn:

  • The 3 tests that reveal whether to sell or hold on

  • Why switching one growth asset for another isn’t always a mistake

  • The real costs of selling (and how long it takes to make them back)
