Listen To This Before Buying An Apartment in 2026!⎟Ep. 2321

Should you buy an apartment in 2026? For some investors, it could be the perfect move. For others, it's a trap waiting to happen.

In this episode, Ed and Andrew break down the three biggest reasons NOT to buy an apartment, expose two common myths that trip up buyers, and reveal the three scenarios where apartments actually make sense.

You'll also hear about the "Apartment Ambush" – where investors get sold on 6-7% growth forecasts, only to watch their property barely move in value over a decade.

In this episode, you'll learn:

Why apartments in Auckland City appreciate 3% slower per year than houses and townhouses
The real story behind an investor who bought a $540k apartment in 2015... and what it's worth today
What "body corporate control" actually means for your investment flexibility
The truth about rental yields on apartments (hint: 5.5-6.5% is the target)
Which type of investor should consider apartments – and who should stay far away
