AI summary

Property investment in NZ offers wealth-building potential through leverage and strong demand. Securing finance is a key first step, with options including banks, non-bank lenders, or a mortgage broker.

Investors typically need a 20% deposit for new builds or 35% for existing homes, often using equity from their own property. Assembling a professional team is crucial:

- Property lawyer

- Building inspector

- Accountant

- Property manager

Prioritise locations with strong growth and carefully calculate your potential returns before making an offer.
