Learn why your property might be a poor performer despite high growth. Many investors assume that because a property has doubled or tripled in value, they have unlimited access to that capital. This video explains the practical reality of refinancing property to access capital. We break down why equity withdrawal is not as straightforward as it seems and the specific limitations investors face when trying to pull cash out of a high-value asset. We focus on the common issue of trapped equity, where the bank will only allow you to access up to 80 percent of the property value. Understanding these lending constraints is vital for anyone using a property investment strategy that relies on leverage. By the end of this video, you will understand the math behind refinancing property and why high capital growth does not always equate to high liquidity.
