Long-form thinking from Emma and the API team. Four launch posts anchor the archive around cashflow, equity, borrowing capacity, and strategy. The rest is migrated analysis from a decade of writing about property as a vehicle for wealth.
The first of four launch posts on the readiness factors. A walk through how API thinks about serviceability, surplus, and the buffer that separates a portfolio that grows from one that stalls. Written for investors weighing their next move and aspiring buyers building the foundations first. Reading time, around eight minutes.
Equity is patient: how to use it well. Re-leveraging the existing portfolio without losing the buffer.
Borrowing capacity is a moving target. Plan for it that way, especially across a 12 to 24-month window.
The four factors and why we built the assessment around them.
Why most property strategies stall in year three. The cashflow squeeze nobody plans for.
Older posts, organised by the factor they cover. Worth a read on the commute.
The assessment reads the four factors together and points to the one move that would put you in a stronger position. About five minutes.
