I read a post from Todd Hunter on the online YIP about selling to release equity and cash and releasing equity through refinancing (and hence never selling, or not selling for a long time) - www.yourinvestmentpropertymag.com.a...er/the-old-myth--property-forever-199347.aspx
This got me thinking about thoughts and comments on SS about selling vs 'never' selling (never is in inverted commas here because I assume that all investors will sell at some stage but some turn properties over much faster than others).
I'm interested in your comments about Todd's article and whether you're someone who keeps your properties for an extended period (say over 10 years) and withdraws equity to go again or whether you turn properties over at market highs to buy again.
A point made in the article is about prices falling after you have withdrawn equity, hence holding an asset that is valued at less than you have a loan for.
Cheers,
