Welcome back to another episode of the 360 Money Matters Podcast!
In this episode, Billy and Andrew reveal why most Australians – including the “experts” – fundamentally misunderstand this backyard barbecue favourite. The real question isn’t which asset class has better returns. It’s about leverage, tax structure, liquidity, and behavioral discipline.
We break down the hidden costs everyone conveniently forgets (stamp duty, interest, maintenance, selling fees), explain why concentration risk matters more than you think, and expose the psychological tricks that make property “feel” safer than shares. You’ll discover why the right answer depends on your cash flow, life stage, and ability to handle market noise – not what your mate’s grandfather made on his investment property.
Tune in to finally understand what actually matters when building long-term wealth.
