I am going over to nz next week, just getting into a car and driving from wellington north
there seems to be so many good spots, I thought I will go on the feel of the towns and what comes along.
I would like to thank all of you for all the help that I found on theis fourm
I will give a report upon return such as were I went and who was the most helpfull etc
congratultion westan for getting to 100 I am sure it would be long before you get that in PI
this forum have given me some ideas I will try a vist most of the towns talked about here
by the looks of the net I can go to any town and find some good postive casshflow PI
I will find out soon
recovery
To save contacting a variety of nz banks why not try a mortgage broker. There are some that have plenty of experience dealing with non resident buyers. I will post a couple if you are interested.
Hi
my real name is Glenn married to suzanne 2 boys 16 and 10
live on the south coast of NSW
work for health dept
have over 10 PI
I am 41 have been into PI all life Dad was a farmer who sold up and got into PI in the 60;s and 70;s, but the alcohol got him. One stage he had over 11 PI in Stockton NSW chaep they are around 200=250 each now
he never realy try to get me into PI which is a shame because I am into now with my 16 year old
Perhaps my father knew that I would not listen to everything
my pi’s are in WA Qld TAS and in NSW
I always buy for casshflow
I use to put more time and effect into my low paying govt job which change about a year ago
when I asked a mate at work what he did on leave and he told me 3 PI in Tas
it was like he was telling me big secret which is just how I use to be with PI stuff
anyway we both feed off each other and are buying 1 pi every 2 month or so
my wife has no interest in this, would like to live in a small mud hut with own garden which is fine but I dont have any faith in the health or govt and when I get old (older) That is not going to happen for a while. As soon as I get any sort of money it goes to get another PI
this forum has been great
I have no one else except my mate who does not live near me
and it is fantastic knowing there are other people out there doing this
I dont useally write beacuse I am a bad speller with grammer skills to match
A spell checker would be good
hope this gives people some idea who I am

gainni
there some good ones and the end of the south island and in the middle of the north island
depends on what you looking for and how much you want to spend
just need to find what the employment is like so you are sure of letting out your PI
I have been using the phone
which is not that expensive when you get
good info on the town, I phone realestate and banks

recoveryman. When you say better than 20% deposit I assume you mean that because you are buying overseas that you need 20% plus costs? This is becuase mortgage insurers will not mortgage insure a property located in an overseas market.
You may approach HSBC as they are an overseas bank located in Australia. I am not 100% on thier overseas policy but NZ is one of their favourites.
Hope this helps.
Thanks davo70
I looking for better than 20% i.e 10% only
might be a bit hard, will have to do with 20% plus cost
thanks for your reply
recoveryman
hi recovery,
yes I did get your email, sorry, I must have read it and not replied, I will reply later on
>i try and get my friends into this PI stuff
>and it is hard going
>I dont think I am a lemming as ypou poited out .54% of the pop >is not herd following
I agree – I mean, I’m the only person in my circle of friends who has a bookshelf full of materials to try and improve not just my mind but my investing knowledge, not to mention the three seminars I’ve spent $$$$ on
[]I am gratfull I have one mate who is into this
as none of the others are
I feel sorry for them, when it comes to retirment they will be srewed living on <25K
I try to explian the power of using the banks money to make money
and all I get is what if the tenent leaves
what about white ants
what about interrest rates
what about the bloody weather….
too scared to have more than one loan at a time
and pay it off as fast as they can MADNESS
>but I am going over to NZ and getting as many
>of those good PI as the bank will lend
>if interest rates go up tp 10% I will be
>still; covered
good on you! There seem to be less in NZ under 30K these days but there are still many under 40K. In fact what I have learned, from starting at the bottom of the bottom of the market, is that if I had spent a little more I would have (for example) got better houses in better areas that although the yields are not quite as good probably would have been easier to rent to the ‘perfect tenant’. I will eventually work my way up the market into those kind of properties not to mention some cap. gain ones, i’m thinking
you learn by your mistakes
I have, when it comes to money info gets into my head faster and stays there
>I just look at county OZ PI’s
>and surpised and shoked at the low number
>of PI there and the ones there are under contact
>NZ is looking good
yeah – I felt the same – believe me I looked in Aussie first before resorting to NZ, and found that there was nothing really that I could afford that I liked – I think I was about a year too late for areas such as bathurst, ballarat, etc
there is still good buys in NZ
I glad I have this time off work to get them
and thinking of giving my pretend job away as it gets in my way of this
>thank you for all your help and the writing
>such huge reply to this disscussion group
thanks, my boys have been away for four weeks so I have had lots of time to do lots of self-indulgent things such as spend and unhealthy amount of time on this forum! Plus I am between deals (waiting for one to settle, etc) so not so busy looking for deals for hours as I was.
>I am a happy PI investor and also profitable one
I am not profitable, yet, but I am sure i will be in the long term. I have figured out that even with a 50 percent vacancy I can still be CF+ even with finance, so I reckon it will all come good in the next month with my three baby IPs.
good luck with you next deal hopfully you will put into pratice what you learn into them
I have found it gets so easy spotting a good deal
I always get pest and building report and speack to the rental person to find out what the rent will be not what the sale person tells me
also look at other angency see what is for rent
cheers-
Mini
thank i ahve your email

i try and get my friends into this PI stuff
and it is hard going
I dont think I am a lemming as ypou poited out .54% of the pop is not herd following
but I am going over to NZ and getting as many
of those good PI as the bank will lend
if interest rates go up tp 10% I will be
still; covered
I just look at county OZ PI’s
and surpised and shoked at the low number
of PI there and the ones there are under contact
NZ is looking good
did you recive my email?
thank you for all your help and the writing
such huge reply to this disscussion group
I am a happy PI investor and also profitable one

Hi all
I am a buy and hold man
everytime I have sold I regret it
but this market is been booming for so long
I am thinking of selling one of my PI
with low r/t now, it was a good r/t when I brought it
but it has gone up so much, but not the rent
“the idea of buying for cashflow during a boom and buying for capital growth during a period of stagnation somehow appeals to me”
this applys to me
mimimogal thank you for all you help
and thanks to all of you for giving me more of a spark into my PI buying
I live in the country
No one knows that I have a number of PI
I only have one friend that understands
most poeple have no idea and are scared to
take the smallest risk
so I have enjoyed this site
have been reading for a long time
only just started to reply
my poor spelling stops me
p.s I am from OZ
not canada
