AI summary
Buying an investment property in NZ typically requires a 30% deposit due to Reserve Bank LVR restrictions. However, investors have several options for purchasing with a smaller deposit.
Strategies include:
- Buying a new build, which often only requires a 20% deposit.
- Using home equity from an existing property to fund the deposit.
- Approaching non-bank lenders who are not bound by LVR rules.
Speaking with a mortgage broker can help you explore these options and navigate the lending process effectively.
