Access Lloyd's book called Buy Now, click here Should you stretch for one blue chip property or split your budget across two solid buys? In this episode, Lloyd Edge sits down with Armando for the 'Positively Geared' podcast and they break down what “blue chip” really means, how to judge safety beyond the suburb name, and why street selection and owner-occupier ratios matter for growth.
They compare yields, cash-flow impacts, lending realities, and market-cycle timing. You’ll see when two mid-priced properties can accelerate your portfolio, when a single premium asset makes more sense, and how to use a simple cash-flow analysis to decide with confidence. They finish with quick “deal or no deal” case studies to show the thinking in action.
