AI summary
Buying an investment property in New Zealand typically requires a 30% deposit due to Reserve Bank LVR restrictions.
However, several strategies can help you purchase with less, including:
- Buying a new build, which often only requires a 20% deposit.
- Using usable equity from your existing home to fund the purchase.
- Approaching non-bank lenders who are not bound by LVR rules.
Seeking advice from a mortgage broker is recommended to explore all available options and secure the best financing.
