About this episode
Join the conversation: The Investor Lab Community So you’ve built wealth in real estate and you’re approaching retirement… now what? This week, we’re exploring the different ways property investors might think about turning a portfolio into retirement income. Should you sell and redeploy into higher-yield assets? Refinance and draw on equity? Pay down debt to free up cashflow? Or move some capital into other assets for flexibility? Instead of theory, we’ll treat this like a live portfolio strategy session - walking through scenarios and considering how the balance between growth, income, leverage, and risk can shift as you move from the accumulation years into retirement. What we’ll cover: When selling makes sense vs when to hold How refinancing, restructures, and top-ups could help fund retirement Why debt strategy in retirement often flips the script from the accumulation phase Balancing cashflow, equity growth, and risk in later life Whether you’re 5 years away or 25, this is exploring ways to build wealth that doesn’t just look good on paper, it funds the lifestyle you actually want. See you on the inside! IMPORTANT: The Investor Lab is for educational purposes only and does not constitute financial advice.
