[]Hello, I was just reading all your postings for buying property in NZ. Just a quick question: Why are you buying over there as opposed to Australia if you live in Aussie. Do you need to declare this income etc in your Taxes in Australia?. Are they able to be negatively geared here? No-one has mentioned this so maybe I have missed something. By the way I am a Kiwi and have lived in Aussie for the last 7 years. I come from a small town called Waipukurau – farming area Central Hawkes Bay. This is a lovely small town also . Regards Luanne
