    Buying through any investment companies – bad.

    There may well be some bargains coming up after the oversupply and the drop in foriegn student numbers but it isn’t a market I am interested in.

    hi edzel
    I will try to answer your post heading first.
    Apartments is it good to invest( I will say I have a vested interest in my answer as a developer of units).
    my answer is yes depending on.
    The price,
    The rental return in the area.
    Demand for units.
    And current growth or potential growth.
    I haven’t got a clue on the nz market hence I don’t invest there and would recommend you do the same until you do have a clue.
    Research the market first not sure about the investment companies and unlike mortgage hunter I wouldn’t dismiss them until I knew there cost structure and what you will get out of the investment (I always recommend check out all and any investment, diamonds arn’t found on a shopping mall floors)
    Look at old houses as well as units as you will find bargains there in any market.
    Sorry I can’t find the freeway to success for you but will try at least give you the map.

    units are a good low entry in to the property market.

    here to help
