Using your home to buy investment property: smart or risky?

Welcome to Ask the Experts, where each week we talk to people in the industry to get the inside word on what’s happening right now, and what that means for the tactics that you should use to make the most of your money.

If you’re thinking about property investment, there’s one word that always comes up - leverage.

It’s the strategy of using your home’s value to invest into something else, usually more property.

When it works, it can supercharge your wealth.

When it doesn’t? You’re putting your family home on the line.

In this episode, we unpack how to use leverage the smart way, with financial strategist Katie Wesney from enableMe.

We cover when it’s worth considering, the emotional and financial resilience you need, and how to avoid rookie mistakes that can cost you big.

Whether you're already in the property game or just thinking about it, this one could save you serious money, and a lot of stress.
