Weekly Slice 288: Getting this wrong in 2026 can kill Portfolio Growth!- with Simon Loo & Todd Sloan

Getting this wrong in 2026 can kill Portfolio Growth!     Are most property investors confusing yield with cash flow and costing themselves thousands every year without even realising it?   Simon Loo from House Finder breaks down one of the most common mistakes he sees investors make: chasing a high percentage yield while ignoring the real dollars going in and out of their pocket. Drawing on a costly early experience buying a townhouse in Woodridge, Simon walks through a side-by-side comparison of a $650,000 property in Queensland versus Victoria same purchase price, similar yield, but nearly $4,000 a year difference in actual cash flow. The numbers tell a story that percentage alone never could.   Whether you're building your first portfolio or expanding an existing one, understanding the difference between gross yield and true cash flow could be the single most important shift in how you evaluate property. Tune in to get the full breakdown and start making decisions based on real numbers.       🍕🏠 We want to hear your investor story!
