not sure how to approach this with the rules, but here goes. thanks to our great networking skills in NZ, some agents actually totally ‘get’ what we are looking for and took us seriously when we said we know many Australian investors looking in NZ – and to contact us if they have any properties they think might suit us. one of them has now started emailing me some interesting deals. They are positive already on the asking price, and you could negotiate them even better.
if you are interested i’ll forward you the whole email and you can take it with the agent from there. (I have deals falling out my ears, and thought it might be cool to pass them on. No money involved – just trying to keep good karma with the agent so that they continue to send me deals – also, we did say that we network with a lot of other investors.)

Have you got a hotmail address or something similar that can be posted here so people can email you instead of posting a long list of emails into this thread.
I too would like to see the email, you have my address[:X]
I don’t have any problem telling people NZ is a goood place to buy RE right now. I’m into abundance. Of course if the entire population of Australia wanted to buy properties in NZ there wouldn”t be enough to go around. That’s just maths. But right now, there are still more opportunities than i can take up personally and I’m not set up to make money from it or do it on anything more than a casual basis. Of course my friends got the email first. but why not let the agent have a bunch of calls, and help show that there is a market of investors here which is alarge one!
Maybe I can convince the agent to join the forums and answer questions as a NZ RE agent.
just waiting to hear back from said RE agent that it’s OK to send her some more enquiries – everyone that posted their address after my previous post.
cheers-

OK I sent it to everybody!
I heard back from the agent on my voicemail after asking her if she was coping Ok with me sending a bunch of people her way??
she left a message back, something like’so far I haven’t been inundated with emails and calls from the investors who are supposedly going to be contacting me’..
*hehe – thinking – ‘just you wait!’*
!! well some of you *are* gonna follow it up aren’t you?
not exactly sick of it, but wouldn’t do it every day! but it’s been interesting, to judge the interest – I think I should get the RE agents to join up the forum and start posting!
This is probabaly a dumb question – but how do you finance deals in New Zealand when living and working in Australia ?
Would Australian banks lend you the money – or do you have to go to NZ financiers ? If so, what about proving income etc – or would the deal have to be so good that it stands on it’s own merits ?

I have no idea how this works either. Aren’t I helpful? []
