Should You Only Focus on Cashflow and Ignore Capital Growth? | Ep. 106

In this episode, we discuss a piece of advice which can be found in nz property investment books from the 1990s to early 2000s, which goes something like this: "only focus on cashflow, don't worry about capital growth. Just treat capital growth as a bonus".

We discuss whether we agree with this advice or not, and the answer is generally: "no".

The reason for this is that you will need a significant number of cashflow positive properties to build the same amount of wealth generated from a capital growth property – it is just not realistic that a property investor would be able to take on that many properties because of the bank's financing limits.
