Patience is a virtue: the importance of a ‘buy and hold’ strategy

27 Mar 2025 Back

Is selling your investment property to realise profit the right strategy, or could holding onto it build greater long-term wealth? 

Host Damian Collins welcomes Robin Ram, Manager of Momentum Wealth’s Property Advisory division, to challenge one of the biggest misconceptions in the property market: that you need to sell to make a profit. They illustrate how time in the market beats timing the market and how holding quality assets can create substantial wealth. 

What you’ll learn: 

  • Why the property industry is structured to encourage buying and selling 
  • When you should (and shouldn’t) sell your investment properties 
  • How leveraging equity can help you expand your portfolio without selling 
  • The power of compound growth over 20-30 years 
  • Real examples of properties that have delivered 300-900% growth over time 
  • How to avoid costly transaction fees that eat into your profits
