4.5%

National median gross yield

Regional properties regularly exceed 7%. Knowing where to look — and how to analyse returns — is where advice starts.

Minimum deposit for new builds

Lower than most investors realise. Existing properties require 30%. Understanding your entry point is step one.

Interest deductibility restored

Fully back in effect for the 2026 tax year. The numbers on rental property look meaningfully different than they did two years ago.

Property Advice

Property works.
But only when
it's planned.

Rental property is one of New Zealand's most proven wealth-building vehicles. But the difference between a property that builds wealth and one that creates stress almost always comes down to structure — how it is financed, what it returns, and how it fits with everything else in your financial life.

Property investment advice is not about finding you a house. It is about building a strategy around your goals, running the numbers honestly, structuring your lending correctly, and making sure your first property does not get in the way of your second.

We work across residential rental properties and new builds throughout New Zealand. Where mortgage structuring is required, we work alongside a licensed mortgage broker — so you get advice on what to buy and the lending to make it happen, coordinated from the start.

How It Works

From strategy
to settled.

01

Understand your position

We start with your full financial picture — income, existing assets, KiwiSaver, any current debt, and how much equity or savings you have available to deploy.

02

Define your strategy

We identify the type of property and market that fits your goals — yield-focused, capital growth, or new build — and model realistic return scenarios before you commit.

03

Run the numbers

Cash flow analysis, gross and net yield, interest deductibility, depreciation, tax structure — so you know exactly what the investment looks like in practice, not just on paper.

04

Structure the lending

Working alongside a licensed mortgage broker, we ensure your lending is structured to serve the investment — not just approved. Principal vs interest, offset facilities, and future borrowing capacity all considered.

05

Coordinate with your broader plan

Property does not exist in isolation. We integrate the investment into your wider financial strategy — protecting liquidity, maintaining insurance cover, and ensuring KiwiSaver stays on track.

06

Review and build from there

Once your first property is in place, we help you plan the next steps — whether that is a second investment, paying down debt, or rebalancing your overall portfolio.

Property investment — holistic wealth

Holistic Wealth Planning

Property is one part
of the picture.

We do not advise on property in isolation. We look at how it fits with your KiwiSaver, your investments, your debt, and your timeline — and build a plan that coordinates all of it.

Property

Building wealth through rental income and long-term capital growth, structured for maximum lending capacity and tax efficiency.

KiwiSaver

Coordinating your retirement savings with your property acquisition timeline — including deposit strategy and contribution optimisation.

Investments

Diversifying beyond property as your wealth grows — shares, funds, and managed assets working alongside your rental portfolio.

What You Walk Away With

Not a
conversation.
A written plan.

Property investment — New Zealand

01

Written property strategy

Your goals, timeline, affordability ceiling, and acquisition plan — documented and yours to keep. Not a conversation. A plan.

02

Lending structure advice

How to borrow across lenders to maximise your capacity, from your first property to your third. Structure makes the difference.

03

Holistic integration

Property woven into your KiwiSaver, investment, and insurance plan — coordinated as a single wealth strategy, not isolated decisions.

04

Ongoing portfolio reviews

Annual check-ins as your portfolio grows, interest rates shift, and life changes. Your strategy stays current because the market does not stand still.
