81. Case Study: Sell the investment property, or hold for the long game?

Would you sell a property that's grown from $280k to $800k, even if it meant a six figure tax bill? In this episode, Hayden and Dave sit down with listener Lachlan to work through a big financial decision: whether to sell his investment property or keep holding on.

They cover:

👉 The equity Lachlan has built up on his investment property, and what selling would actually cost him in CGT

👉 Debt recycling and whether redrawing equity could achieve the same goal without triggering a tax hit

👉 Why simplifying from property to shares might reduce stress, even if it's not the highest returning move

👉 What semi-retirement within a decade would actually require from Lachlan and his wife's finances

👉 The pull of sentimental value and FOMO, and how that shapes decisions that are supposed to be purely financial
