The vast amount of property business out there are really just marketing companies that make anywhere from 20-30k commission on each deal and they make out they are giving you independant help.

As you are a New Zealander you should be able to establish a structure to assist you in NZ. Naturally I am not an accountant but I can put you in touch with someone who is.

It sounds as though the writer may have had a nervous backdown however the real issues over the next 15 years will be the ageing population and the lack of young people entering the workforce. According to government figures we will have double the number of people over the age of 65 by 2020 and only 5% of people entering the workforce. If the…[Read more]

You need to get some advise from either a good property accountant or a solicitor who is a structures expert. However in a nutshell a few years ago there were mager changes to capital gains tax rulings.

I agree with Steve.

I have read the book and even written a review on this site. The book is a great resource for anyone starting in New Zealand or is also valuable for experienced investors. The book would have saved me a lot of time.

We also operate a buying service in New Zealand. We mainly purchase established properties. Our stategy is to purchase a mixture of high cashflow properties together with growth. Serviced apartments will generally give you the worst of both worlds. Stick to established property in sound locations and you will not go wrong

My own view that a likly boom will occure before the end of the decade. But I suspect that rather than really steep growth the market will go up at a steady rate between 2008-2012 after that it depends on our ageing population
