It’s the nightmare scenario every investor worries about: the market crashes, your property value halves, you lose your job … and you’re left with nothing but debt.

In this episode, Ed and Andrew tackle that fear head-on. They walk through what a true worst-case scenario might look like – and why it’s often not as devastating as you think once you break it down.

You’ll learn:

  • The 3-step process to work through the fear of losing everything

  • Why even in downturns, most Kiwi property owners still make a profit on resale

  • How to weigh the upside against the downside (with real numbers from NZ property data)

This episode isn’t about ignoring risk – it’s about putting it into perspective so you can keep investing with confidence.
