AI summary

Property investment in NZ can build wealth through leverage and strong demand. First, secure financing from a bank, non-bank lender, or mortgage broker.

You'll need a deposit of 20% for new builds or 35% for existing homes, which can come from cash or equity. Assemble a professional team, including a lawyer and building inspector. When searching, prioritize location and property type. Before making an offer, always calculate your potential rental return to ensure it's a sound investment.
