Yep exactly @Dean Letfus . Good to see/use some of the info over there but get in and out and leave the rubbish there please. The positive vibe over here is really refreshing, I'm sure thats part of the reason you moved your stuff to the States. Hows life been, havent seen you sincvve we ran the NZPIF conference in Queenstown those years back?

Next one is due in New Plymouth next month so if anyone is going let us know as may be we can have a BP meet up in the bar whilst were all there? I will mention it over in the Kiwi group?

@Takashi Sawada  @James Scholz  flick me a PM with your criteria for Otago and I will pass it on anonymously if you like to some finders down here and see if we can keep an eye out for you? @Hadar Orkibi I will let you know what people are looking for in case it helps the searches?

hi @Takashi Sawada

Good to see you here. Further to Deans comments there is a group starting to build here on BP focused on New Zealand investors. Pop here and introduce yourself https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86/topics/308... .

I find this forum much more helpful than PropertyTalk due to everyone not trying to put people down all the time like they seem to over there, but that is currently a lot more established and localised at the moment.

I am down in Otago, Dunedin so if you need any help give me a shout. Kyle

Hi @Elwin Van Wees

Welcome to the site. There is a group of Kiwi based members who are trying to build a bit of a group on the site specific to New Zealand. Go here to meet us all https://www.biggerpockets.com/forums/86/topics/308...

Good luck with the investing and sing out if you need any help?

Cheers, Kyle

@Benjamin Connor the market has been going nuts down south here as people have been trying to use up there finance pre-approvals to buy cashflow down here, but I would suspect it might slow a bit in the next 30-40 days as they run out and then be a bit of a reset whilst everyone works out where to next? We're getting investment properties with multiple offers in a few days of being listed

Hi @Azam Khan

Might be worth talking to someone like GRA or Withers Tsang as both of them are well regarded in the NZ property industry as being very sharp with regard to tax efficiency so they may know how to do the best thing for US-NZ ownerships?

Cheers, Kyle

Yep it's alright but don't think it's very clear to read each month though.

We developed ours from the Rich Dad board game version, this type of thing http://www.richdad.com/MediaLibrary/RichDad/pdfs/B...

and turned it into an excel/google sheet spreadsheet so it was easier and clearer

Have you got a link for the ANZ one? 

If you want some accountability to your goals how about finding a "buddy" may be on the forums who also has your goals and dates to acheive by and have a regular meeting to push each other along to the goal? Or post them on a forum post here on BP so others here can push you? We do a bit of that with our clients.

@Tausani Ah Chong

Statement of position is a report on your current assets, liabilities, income and expenses.

We usually do ours monthly when the monthly accounts are produced from our businesses. It is effectively your score card for your financial life. Our aim is to try and make this improve every month, even just a little, so that we are heading in the right direction or noticing if something is costing us so we can decide early if something needs fixed, adjusted or gotten rid of.

Goals sheet is our written record of everything we want in our life, our why we are getting out of bed in the morning list and a focus point so we know that the thing we do next is going to get us toward the things we want out of life. 

Our goals sheet extends out to those pie in the sky ideas that we are likely to never get to but if you don't write them down you will never get to them and they are set at a rolling 10years in advance. then we break down every few years toward those goals and any interim steps that would help us get there. Ours includes vehicles we want to be driving or flying, property we want to own, holidays we want to go on experiences we want to achieve and anything else we can think of and then we put them in a timeframe to achieve them. Generally we sit down with a bottle or 3 of wine at the start of the year and redefine where we want to get to. Then we keep looking in on it hopefully every qtr if not more often thru the year to make sure we are still heading towards them.

Hope that helps. K
