Quick Bite: Leverage AKA the mortgage magnifier

from Shared Lunch Hosted by Sharesies

In this quick bite, Ed McKnight from Opes Partners challenges the perception that property investment is low-risk, explaining how leverage amplifies both gains and losses. How exactly does the "mortgage magnifier" work? Ed shares how even a 5% property value change can result in far bigger equity shift for investors. Plus, we look at historical returns between property and shares in New Zealand over the past 25 years. This quick bite is from our previous episode 'What does property investment look like in 2025?'
