In this episode, Stuart presents a fascinating case study that challenges the traditional view on overcapitalising on a home. The clients in focus own a profitable business and have been strategically building their investment portfolio. Despite planning to spend a significant amount on constructing their dream home, Stuart reveals that overcapitalising may not be a major concern if certain conditions are met.
The clients in question own a share in a thriving business generating over $1m pre-tax profit. They have a diverse investment portfolio and a desire to build their dream home. Despite spending almost $7m on this home, the potential for financial loss is diminished by their ability to continue investing in other assets and a solid exit strategy. Stuart highlights the importance of affordability, continued wealth-building outside of the home, and having a viable exit strategy.
Listeners are encouraged to consider this unconventional approach to home investment, emphasising the balance between enjoying the present and securing future financial stability. This insightful episode challenges conventional wisdom and offers a fresh perspective on wealth-building strategies.
