Considering getting involved in the property investment market?
We have some useful tips to help get you started.
What are your goals?
A longer term strategy including consistent property rental returns is today more popular than the focus on short turnaround, with a capital gain, that was popular in the early 2000’s. Capital gain is still possible as the property market has gone up considerably, but this remains a riskier investment strategy. There is no best practice - the key is to understand the positives and potential negatives of each strategy as you increase your portfolio. You are more likely to reach the investment portfolio you want if you have a plan.
What are my returns?
There are a number of factors to consider. Outgoings such as rates, insurance and maintenance as well as the income stream, traditionally rent and potential equity in your property. There are some useful calculators that can serve as a guide here.
Where to buy the perfect rental property investment?
Most people start in their local town but provincial New Zealand offers some very interesting investment opportunities with different dynamics. Talk to your agent about your options.
