Buying a Smart Investment

Why an investment property?

Investment property is a great investment particularly if you take a longer-term view:

  • You can buy with relatively little of your own money down or by using equity in a property you already own
  • Rent can pay most if not all of the weekly costs
  • Increases in property value are significant over longer periods
  • There are tax benefits
  • Properties can be insured for loss

We send out an investor alert to help you find investment properties and are happy to help you find a property and get started. Click here to subscribe to investor alerts.

We also have a network of preferred service providers that can take the pain out of managing and maintaining a rental property.

Rental Statistics

It is a good idea to keep on top of the market rents in your area.  You can do this by looking at Trade Me (remembering homes don't always rent for the amount advertised) and also look at The Department of Building and Housing Market Rent webpage.

Interest Rates

It is essential that you understand interest rates and how changes effect your financial position.  Check out interest.co.nz for the latest updates.
