The Property Academy Podcast · If a Rental Doesn’t Pass This “Test,” Don’t Buy It · 21 Sep 2026 podcast

And another example of the what if I'm wrong test that I sometimes think about is well, what if. voice-verified

house prices don't go up by what they have in the past? voice-verified

What if in the past house prices have gone up by six percent per year on average, and it's not that in the future? voice-verified

Well, the other thing you'd have to do as well, if you stress test one asset class with really conservative assumptions, you want to make sure that you're applying that evenly when you're thinking about all of your various asset classes. voice-verified

So what you wouldn't want to do is say, Okay, I'm gonna be really conservative with shares. voice-verified

I think that I'm gonna buy shares and they're only gonna go up by five percent per year, even though they might have average. voice-verified

At about 8.5% per year over the last 30 years. voice-verified

But I'm going to be really conservative on shares. voice-verified

But nah property, I think it's going to be 6 or 7%. voice-verified

I'm just going to use what it's been in the past. voice-verified

Well, now you're not comparing apples with apples because you're trying to be really conservative on managed funds and not conservative at all on property. voice-verified

And the reverse is true as well. voice-verified

You wouldn't want to say, okay, I'm going to be run property on really conservative. voice-verified

Conservative numbers. voice-verified

And then I'm going to say, oh, but shares have done 13% over the last 10 years. voice-verified

I'll go do that as well. voice-verified

You'd have to be similarly conservative. voice-verified

So you're looking at it on a like-for-like basis. voice-verified

And the truth of the matter is, the more conservative your numbers are in terms of capital growth rates, in terms of how fast houses or shares might go up in value, or the more conservative you are in. voice-verified

Terms of the cash flow of your rental properties, the effect is really to make the same amount of money that you want for your retirement or your financial future, you're gonna have to take more money out of your own pocket and put that towards the investment. voice-verified
