AI summary
Property investment in New Zealand offers a path to wealth through leverage and strong rental demand. Securing finance is a key first step, with options including banks, non-bank lenders, and mortgage brokers.
Investors typically need a deposit of 35% for existing homes or 20% for new builds, often using equity from their own home. Assembling a team of professionals like a lawyer, building inspector, and accountant is crucial before searching for a property in a high-growth location.
