In this episode, we explore age limits when applying for a bond in South Africa. Can you still get a bond at 70? How do the banks view applications from people nearing retirement? We break down how Absa, Nedbank, Standard Bank and FNB approach late-stage bond applications, including maximum repayment ages and loan terms.
Whether you are planning your retirement, looking for a property investment, or simply curious about bond options later in life, this short episode gives you a clear understanding of what to expect and how to prepare.
Remember, while the banks generally require bonds to be fully repaid by the age of 75, you may still apply later in life if you can show the ability to repay.

Not all income is seen the same way by the banks. In this episode we explain how banks view different income sources when calculating affordability.
We cover salaries, wages, overtime, commissions, shift allowances, bonuses, rental income, maintenance, and even investment income. Each bank applies its own rules and percentages, which means not all of your earnings may count in full.
We also highlight what proof you need, why consistency matters, and how a mortgage originator can help match your income to the right bank.
If you are applying for your first bond or growing a property portfolio, this guide will help you understand exactly what counts as income.

Should you buy property cash or finance it with a bond? In this video I unpack why using finance strategically can be more powerful than going debt free, whether you are an owner-occupier or an investor.
We look at cash flow protection, the psychology of having a mortgage bond accessible, and how to safeguard yourself against life’s uncertainties. For investors, I explain the benefits of tax-deductibility on interest, scalability of your portfolio, and the control and flexibility that leverage provides.
I also address common objections such as:
“I simply hate debt”
“What if interest rates go up”
“Cash feels safer”
“I want to own my home outright”
Finally, I share four practical tips for using bonds wisely so you can grow your wealth and build financial resilience.

Airbnb rentals are booming across Cape Town, but is the hype sustainable?
In this episode of The Property Corner, I sit down with Louis Reynhardt to unpack why both of us are steering clear of Airbnb investments right now. While short term rentals may offer higher returns on paper, the real story includes hidden costs, time commitments, and serious regulatory risks.

✔️ Why long term rentals offer better stability and growth

Cape Town’s property market has changed dramatically since 2019. Back then, sellers were desperate and properties were going well below asking price. Now in 2025, short term rentals like Airbnb are booming, especially along the Atlantic Seaboard and in the CBD.
But is it sustainable?
In this video, I unpack the risks behind the current short term rental craze and explain why I am focusing on long term investments in more stable suburbs like Durbanville, Century City and Rondebosch. From inflated Airbnb returns to the hidden costs most people ignore, I show why long term property offers better consistency, lower risk and stronger overall returns.
We cover:
✅ What is driving the Airbnb trend
✅ Actual occupancy stats and income figures
✅ The real costs most investors forget
✅ How locals are being priced out of the city
✅ Where to find long term value in Cape Town
If you are a first time investor or looking to grow your portfolio, whether you are based in South Africa or abroad, this video offers a grounded and honest view of the market.
