Today, I explore the critical question every property investor faces at some point: Should you hold onto properties through market cycles or aim to capitalize on timing the peaks? 

Achieving potentially higher returns sounds enticing, but the complexity of market timing as well as buying, and selling across different regions raises serious challenges. We’ll take a close look at the financial impact, risks, and rewards of both strategies.

I’ll guide you through key assumptions, including tax implications and property growth cycles, while dissecting the true cost of transacting versus holding. Are the potential gains from timing markets worth the added complexity, or does a steady, long-term approach deliver better outcomes in the end?

If you’re curious about how to navigate these tough decisions and optimize your investment strategy, you won’t want to miss this episode.

Let’s go inside.
