Should You Sell Shares for a House Deposit? (+ Buying Property With Family)

V is back in the studio (and yes… she brought Cami along for a very cute cam(i?)o because apparently she couldn’t stay away). If you hear any cute baby noises throughout the episode, this time it isn't Bec!

This week we’re getting into two questions that feel very “this could go really well… or really not.”

First up, a dilemma we know so many of you are quietly thinking about. Should you ever sell your shares to fund a house deposit? We break down when it might make sense, what you’re potentially giving up, and how to think about the trade-off between investing and getting into the property market.

Then, a DM from the community that had us all leaning in. Is buying an investment property with family a smart financial move… or a disaster waiting to happen?

We’re talking boundaries, expectations, legal structures and what can go wrong (because let’s be honest, money and family can get complicated very quickly).

It’s practical, a little bit spicy, and exactly the kind of conversation you want to have before you make a big financial decision.
