EBS 25: Yield Focus Mistake | How Chasing Yield Can Hurt Your Investing

Episode 25 challenges the belief that investors should prioritise high yield and cash flow positive property. We explain why capital growth has a much greater impact on long term wealth, how stronger growth can also lift rents over time, and why targeting unusually high yields can eliminate most of the property market from consideration.

The episode also explores when yield should matter more, including retirement and serviceability constraints, and why investors should only chase as much yield as their circumstances require.

The takeaway is simple. Yield helps you hold property, but capital growth is what builds wealth.
