Property vs shares. It’s one a big investing decision, and also an easy one to get stuck on.

In this Ask the Experts episode, we’re tackling a question that comes up all the time: should you invest in property or the sharemarket?

Frances Cook is joined by Katie Wesney from EnableMe to break down the real differences between property investing and sharemarket investing.

We get into:

– Is property still a good investment in New Zealand, or has the game changed?

– What people don’t realise about the costs, risks, and returns of rental property

– Why shares feel scarier, and how to get past that

– The rise of DIY investing, and what beginners need to know before jumping in

– How to choose between property and shares based on your goals (not someone else’s)

– Simple ways to get started, even if you’re feeling overwhelmed
