I've kind of just floated along hoping for the best, now I can see what can actually be done I really want to build up a buy and hold business based on single family homes and transition out of my job in the film industry to financial independence.Fortunately I have actually been very lucky with my investing and sold my last rental a year ago during a very inflated period in the local market and fully paid off all my mortgages, including the family home giving me capital somewhere in the region of 1.1-1.2 million, now I just need to get that capital to start making me some cash flow so I can reduce my hours spent on the film set and increase my time hanging out with my young family.Since my local market (Auckland, New Zealand) is still extremely expensive and rents relatively low (nothing I have ever owned in Auckland has ever come close to positive cashflow, I just thought I was buying for future gains), I started looking in a city 3 hours drive from Auckland called Rotorua, and discovered it has much better prices.I have bought 2x 2 bedroom properties this year.

My husband and I have always thought of investing in property in New Zealand, but due to the ever increasing prices of houses, decided not to pursue it any further.We learned about the possibility of investing in America, in a market where it is possible to be successful and financially independent, and I decided to go for it!!!

Hi All23 years old and soon to be moving back to Waikato, New Zealand as my partner and I are expecting our first baby in the new year!

I'm also wondering what the hidden risks in the foreclosure market might be in New Zealand? 

Hey guys,I'm a foreign investor from New Zealand who just recently signed up for BiggerPockets.
